    A notice published in the Federal Register on January 5, 1994 (59

certification arrangement between the Governments of the United States 
and India through January 31, 1994. In a Memorandum of Understanding

extended through December 31, 1995. A directive to Customs implementing 
the limits for 1994 will be published shortly in a separate notice.
    The purpose of this notice is to remind the public that the U.S. 
Customs Service must continue to require visas and exempt 
certifications, as previously published, for textiles and textile 
products, produced or manufactured in India and exported to the United 
States.
