Commissioner of Customs,

Dear Commissioner: This directive cancels,

effective on June 17, 1996, the directive

you to count imports for consumption and

withdrawals from warehouse for

consumption of textile products in Category

642 produced or manufactured in Nepal and

exported during the period November 28,

1995 through November 27, 1996. Import

charges already made to Category 642 shall

be retained.

This directive amends, but does not cancel,

the directive issued to you on November 29,

1995, by the Chairman of CITA. That

directive concerns imports of certain cotton

and man-made fiber textile products,

produced or manufactured in Nepal and

exported during the twelve-month period

which began on January 1, 1996 and extends

through December 31, 1996.

Effective on June 17, 1996 , you are

directed, pursuant to exchange of notes dated

April 18, 1996 and April 30, 1996 between

Category Twelve-month limit 1

342/642 .................... 262,764 dozen.

1The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports exported after December

31, 1995.

Adjustment to import charges for Category

642 will be provided at a later date.

The Committee for the Implementation of

Textile Agreements has determined that

these actions fall within the foreign affairs

exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5

U.S.C. 553(a)(1).

Sincerely,

Troy H. Cribb,

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation

of Textile Agreements.
