That directive concerns imports of certain cotton, wool and man-made fiber textiles and textile products and silk blend and other vegetable fiber apparel, produced or manufactured in the Philippines and exported during the twelve-month period which began on January 1, 2002 and extends through December 31, 2002.

    Effective on November 14, 2002, you are directed to adjust the limits for the following categories, as provided for under the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing:

    CategoryAdjusted twelve-month limit 1
    Levels in Group I 
    335245,356 dozen.
    635486,117 dozen.
    1 The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports exported after December 31, 2001.

    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has determined that these actions fall within the foreign affairs exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
