    Effective on December 19, 2002, you are directed to adjust the current limits for the following categories, as provided for under the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing:

    CategoryAdjusted twelve-month limit 1
    340/6402,171,078 dozen.
    351/651501,290 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 of the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
