SUMMARY: This action allocates calendar

year 2001 duty-exemptions for watch

producers located in the Virgin Islands

pursuant to Pub. L. 97–446, as amended

by Pub. L. 103–465 (‘‘the Act’’).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Faye

Robinson, (202) 482–3526.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Act, the Departments of the

Interior and Commerce (the

Departments) share responsibility for

the allocation of duty exemptions

among watch assembly firms in the

United States insular possessions and

the Northern Mariana Islands. In

accordance with Section 303.3(a) of the

regulations (15 CFR 303(a)), the total

quantity of duty-free insular watches

and watch movements for calendar year

2001 is 1,866,000 units for the Virgin

Islands (65 F.R. 8048, February 17,

2000).

The criteria for the calculation of the

calendar year 2001 duty-exemption

allocations among insular producers are

set forth in Section 303.14 of the

regulations (15 CFR 303.14).

The Departments have verified and

adjusted the data submitted on

application form ITA–334P by Virgin

Islands producers and inspected their

current operations in accordance with

Section 303.5 of the regulations (15 CFR

303.5).

In calendar year 2000 the Virgin

Islands watch assembly firms shipped

624,215 watches and watch movements

into the customs territory of the United

States under the Act. The dollar amount

of creditable corporate income taxes

paid by Virgin Islands producers during

calendar year 2000 plus the creditable

wages paid by the industry during

calendar year 2000 to residents of the

territory was $3,175,576.

There are no producers in Guam,

American Samoa or the Northern

Mariana Islands.

The calendar year 2001 Virgin Islands

annual allocations, based on the data

verified by the Departments, are as

follows:

Name of firm Annual

allocation

Belair Quartz, Inc. ................... 500,000

Hampden Watch Co., Inc. ...... 200,000

Unitime Industries, Inc. ........... 500,000

The balance of the units allocated to

the Virgin Islands is available for new

entrants into the program or producers

who request a supplement to their

allocation.
