Federal Register / Vol. 69, No.
225 / Tuesday, November 23, 2004 / Notices
(Accession Agreement), the United
States requested consultations with the
Government of the People’s Republic of
China with respect to imports of
Chinese origin socks in Category 332/
432 and 632 part. Through a letter
published on November 1, 2004, the
Chairman of CITA directed the
Commission, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, to establish a twelve-month
limit on these products, beginning on
October 29, 2004, and extending
through October 28, 2005 (69 FR 63371).
At the same time, the Chairman of CITA
directed the Commissioner to require
that shipments of these products be
accompanied by an export visa and
Electronic Visa Information System
(ELVIS) transmission issued by the
Government of the People’s Republic of
China; this requirement did not apply to
shipments exported prior to November
28, 2004. The Government of the
People’s Republic of China has objected
to the requirement that shipments of
products in Category 432 and 632 Part
be accompanied by an export visa and
ELVIS transmission. Therefore, effective
on November 24, 2004, the United
States is rescinding the visa and ELVIS
requirements for products in these
categories. However, the quota limit for
Category 332/432 and 632 Part remains
in effect. Goods in Category 332 shall
remain subject to the Group II limit, and
will continue to be subject to export visa
and ELVIS requirements. CITA will
revisit this issue if the situation
warrants.
A description of the textile and
apparel categories in terms of
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States numbers is available in
the CORRELATION: Textile and
Apparel Category with the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (see
Federal Register notice 69 FR 4926,
published on February 2, 2004). Also
see 68 FR 65445, published on
November 20, 2003.

of Textile Agreements.
The Committee for the Implementation of
Textile Agreements
November 18, 2004.
Commissioner,
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection,
Washington, DC 20229.
Dear Commissioner: This directive
amends, but does not cancel, the directive
issued to you on October 28, 2004. Those
directives concern the establishment of quota
and visa requirements for certain cotton,
wool, and man-made fiber socks in Category
332/432 and 632 Part, produced or
manufactured in China and exported during
the period beginning on October 29, 2004,
and extending through October 28, 2005.
VerDate jul<14>2003 15:04 Nov 22, 2004 Jkt 205001

Effective on November 24, 2004, you are
directed to remove the visa and ELVIS
requirements for textile products in Category
432 and 632 part. However, the quota limit
for Category 332/432 and 632 Part remains in
effect. Goods in Category 332 shall remain
subject to the Group II limit, and will
continue to be subject to export visa and
ELVIS requirements.
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,
James C. Leonard III,
Chairman, Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements.

statutory obligations. The Leader,

Management Services, Office of the
Chief Information Officer, publishes that
notice containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. Each
