Commissioner of Customs,

Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, the directive issued to you on December 13, 2000, by the Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That directive concerns imports of certain cotton, wool and man-made fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in Costa Rica and exported during the twelve-month period which began on January 1, 2001 and extends through December 31, 2001. 

Effective on June 25, 2001, you are directed to increase the guaranteed access level (GAL) for Category 447 to 14,000 dozen. 

The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs exception of the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1). 

Sincerely, 

D. Michael Hutchinson,

*Acting Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.*
