    Commissioner of Customs,

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

    Effective on December 10, 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 limit1
    Sublevels in Group II 
    447/44870,515 dozen.
    645/6461,382,033 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).
