Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements
September 16, 1994.

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 February 1, 1994, by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
directive concerns imports of certain cotton and man-made fiber 
textile products, produced or manufactured in Pakistan and exported 
during the twelve-month period which began on January 1, 1994 and 
extends through December 31, 1994.
    Effective on September 27, 1994, you are directed to establish a 
limit for man-made fiber textile products in Category 628 for the 
period beginning on September 27, 1994 and extending through 
December 31, 1994 at a level of 973,572 square meters\1\.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\The limit has not been adjusted to account for any imports 
exported after September 26, 1994.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Imports charged to the limit for Category 628 for the June 29, 
1994 through September 26, 1994 period 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.
    In carrying out the above directions, the Commissioner of 
Customs should construe entry into the United States for consumption 
to include entry for consumption into the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico.
    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.
