federal implementing legislation. The

on the content of such legislation, on 

the question of whether federal 

implementing legislation might be 

supplemented by a uniform state law, 

and on the question of what 

declarations the United States might 

make in its instrument of ratification. 

Time and Place: The public meeting 

of the Study Group will take place in 

Room 240, South Building, 2430 E St.,

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Notice of Effective Date 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice of effective date for 

goods of Canada for certain 

modifications of the NAFTA Rules of 

Origin. 

SUMMARY: In Proclamation 8323 of 

November 25, 2008, the President 

modified the rules of origin for certain 

goods of Canada under the North 

American Free Trade Agreement 

(NAFTA) incorporated in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (the ‘‘HTS’’). The 

proclamation stated that the 

modifications would be effective on the 

date that the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) announced in 

the Federal Register and are effective 

with respect to goods of Canada that are 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, on or after the date 

indicated in the notice. The purpose of 

this notice is to announce that the 

effective date for the modifications is 

July 1, 2009. The changes were printed 

in the Federal Register of November 28, 

2008, Volume 73, Number 230, page

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Presidential Proclamation 6641 of 

December 15, 1993, implemented the 

NAFTA with respect to the United 

States and, pursuant to the North 

American Free Trade Agreement 

Implementation Act (Pub.L. 103–182) 

(the ‘‘NAFTA Implementation Act’’), 

incorporated in the HTS the tariff 

modifications and rules of origin 

necessary or appropriate to carry out the 

NAFTA. Section 202 of the NAFTA 

Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3332) 

provides rules for determining whether 

goods imported into the United States 

originate in the territory of a NAFTA 

country and thus are eligible for the 

tariff and other treatment contemplated 

under the NAFTA. Section 202(q) of the 

NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 

3332(q)) authorizes the President to 

proclaim, as a part of the HTS, the rules 

of origin set out in the NAFTA and to 

proclaim modifications to such 

previously proclaimed rules of origin, 

subject to the consultation and layover 

requirements of section 103(a) of the 

NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 

3313(a)). 

The President determined that the 

modifications to the HTS contained in 

Proclamation 8323 pursuant to sections 

201 and 202 of the NAFTA 

Implementation Act were appropriate 

and proclaimed such changes with 

respect to goods of Canada and modified 

general note 12 to the HTS. The 

proclamation further provides that the 

effective date of the modifications shall 

be on the date that the USTR announces 

in a notice published in the Federal 

Register. The modifications are effective 

with respect to goods of Canada entered 

or withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption on the date indicated in 

this notice. 

On May 27, 2008, the government of 

Canada notified the U.S. government 

that it had obtained the necessary 

authorization to implement the rule of 

origin changes with respect to goods of 

the United States. Subsequently, 

officials of the government of Canada 

and the Government of the United 

States agreed to implement these 

changes with respect to each other’s 

eligible goods, effective July 1, 2009. 

Ronald Kirk, 

United States Trade Representative.
