    Commissioner of Customs,
    Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20229.
    
        Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
    the directive issued to you on December 13, 1993, by the Chairman, 
    Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
    directive concerns imports of certain cotton, wool, man-made fiber, 
    silk blend and other vegetable fiber textiles and textile products, 
    produced or manufactured in Korea and exported during the twelve-
    month period which began on January 1, 1994 and extends through 
    December 31, 1994.
        Effective on January 19, 1994, you are directed to establish a 
    limit at 10,774,382 square meters for part-Category 224-V (currently 
    224pt.)\1\ for the period January 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994. 
    Part-Category 224-V shall remain subject to the Group I limit.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        \1\Category 224-V: only HTS numbers 5801.21.0000, 5801.23.0000, 
    5801.24.0000, 5801.25.0010, 5801.25.0020, 5801.26.0010, 
    5801.26.0020, 5801.31.0000, 5801.33.0000, 5801.34.0000,

        Imports charged to the category limit for the period January 1, 
    1993 through December 31, 1993, shall be charged against that level 
    of restraint to the extent of any unfilled balance. In the event the 
    limit established for that period has been exhausted by previous 
    entries, such goods shall be subject to the level set forth in this 
    directive.
        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,
    Rita D. Hayes,
    Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
