65774 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 245 / Thursday, December 20, 2001 / Notices

African countries. The textile and

apparel trade benefits under the AGOA

are available to imports of eligible

products from countries that the

President designates as ‘‘beneficiary

sub-Saharan African countries,’’

provided that these countries (1) have

adopted an effective visa system and

related procedures to prevent unlawful

transshipment and the use of counterfeit

documents, and (2) have implemented

and follow, or are making substantial

progress toward implementing and

following, certain customs procedures

that assist the Customs Service in

verifying the origin of the products.

In Proclamation 7350 (Oct. 2, 2000),

the President designated Zambia as a

‘‘beneficiary sub-Saharan African

country,’’ Proclamation 7350 delegated

to the United States Trade

Representative (USTR) the authority to

determine whether designated countries

have met the two requirements

described above. The President directed

the USTR to announce any such

determination in the Federal Register

and to implement them through

modifications of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTS).

Based on actions that Zambia has taken,

I have determined that Zambia has

satisfied these two requirements.

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority vested in the USTR by

Proclamation 7350, U.S. note 7(a) to

subchapter II of chapter 98 of the HTS

and U.S. note 1 subchapter XIX of

chapter 98 of the HTS are each modified

by inserting ‘‘Zambia’’ in alphabetical

sequence in the list of countries. The

foregoing modifications to the HTS are

effective with respect to articles entered,

or withdrawn from warehouse for

consumption, on or after the effective

date of this notice. Importers claiming

preferential tariff treatment under the

AGOA for entries for textile and apparel

articles should ensure that those entries

meet the applicable visa requirements.

African Growth and Opportunity Act, 66
