Meat Import Limitations; Fourth Quarterly Estimate
The Meat Import Act of 1979, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2253 note) (the
``Act''), provides for limiting the quantity of fresh, chilled, or
frozen meat of bovine, sheep (except lamb), and goats; and processed
meat of beef or veal (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
subheadings 0201.10.00, 0201.20.20, 0201.20.40, 0201.20.60, 0201.30.20,
0201.30.40, 0201.30.60, 0202.10.00, 0202.20.20, 0202.20.40, 0202.20.60,
0202.30.20, 0202.30.40, 0202.30.60, 0204.21.00, 0204.22.40, 0204.23.40,
0204.41.00, 0204.42.40, 0204.43.40, and 0204.50.00), other than
products of Canada and Mexico, which may be imported into the United
States in any calendar year. Such limitations are to be imposed when
the Secretary of Agriculture estimates that imports of articles, other
than products of Canada and Mexico, provided for in Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States subheadings 0201.10.00, 0201.20.40,
0201.20.60, 0201.30.40, 0201.30.60, 0202.10.00, 0202.20.40, 0202.20.60,
0202.30.40, 0202.30.60, 0204.21.00, 0204.22.40, 0204.23.40, 0204.41.00,
0204.42.40, 0204.43.40, and 0204.50.00 (hereinafter referred to as
``meat articles''), in the absence of limitations under the Act during
such calendar year, would equal or exceed 110 percent of the estimated
quantity of meat articles prescribed for calendar year 1994 by section
2(c) as adjusted under section 2(d) of the Act.
As announced in the Notice published in the Federal Register on
January 6, 1994 (59 FR 727), the estimated aggregate quantity of meat
articles other than products of Canada and Mexico prescribed by section
2(c) as adjusted by section 2(d) of the Act for calendar year 1994 is
1,108.1 million pounds.
In accordance with the requirements of the Act, I have determined
that the fourth quarterly estimate of the aggregate quantity of meat
articles other than products of Canada and Mexico which would, in the
absence of limitations under the Act, be imported during calendar year
1994 is 1,218.8 million pounds.
Done at Washington, D.C. this 30th day of September, 1994.
Mike Espy,
Secretary of Agriculture.
