 Proc. 7325 Title 3--The President 4. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(F) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(F)), the President may disregard the competitive need limitation provided in section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(II) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(A)(i)(II)) with respect to any eligible article if the appraised value of the total im- ports of such article into the United States during the preceding calendar year does not exceed an amount set forth in section 503(c)(2)(F)(ii) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(F)(ii)). 5. Pursuant to section 503(d) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(d)), the Presi- dent may waive the application of the competitive need limitations in sec- tion 503(c)(2)(A) with respect to any eligible article from any beneficiary developing country if certain conditions are met. 6. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(E) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(E)), section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(II) shall not apply with respect to any eligible article if a like or directly competitive article was not produced in the United States on January l, 1995. 7. Pursuant to sections 501 and 503(a)(1)(A) of the 1974 Act, and after re- ceiving advice from the International Trade Commission in accordance with section 503(e), I have determined to designate certain articles, pre- viously designated under section 503(a)(\177)(t\177), as eligible articles when im- ported from any beneficiary developing country. 8. Pursuant to section 503(c)(1) of the \177974 Act, I have determined to limit the application of duty-free treatment accorded to certain articles from cer- tain beneficiary developing countries. 9. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that certain beneficiary countries should no longer receive preferential tariff treatment under the GSP with respect to certain eligible articles imported in quantities that exceed the applicable competitive need limitation. 10. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(C) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that certain countries should be redesignated as beneficiary developing coun- tries with respect to certain eligible articles that previously had been im- ported in quantities exceeding the competitive need limitations of section 503(c)(2)(A). ll. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(F) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that the competitive need limitation provided in section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(II) should be waived with respect to certain eligible articles from certain bene- ficiary developing countries. \1772. Pursuant to section 503(d) of the \177974 Act, I have determined that the competitive need limitations of section 503(c)(2)(A) should be waived with respect to certain eligible articles from certain beneficiary developing coun- tries. I have received the advice of the International Trade Commission on whether any industries in the United States are likely to be adversely af- fected by such waivers, and I have determined, based on that advice and on the considerations described in sections 501 and 502(c), that such waiv- ers are in the national economic interest of the United States. 13. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(E) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(E)), I have determined that the limitation provided for in section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(II) shall not apply with respect to HTS subheading 3817A0.50 because no like or directly competitive article was produced in the United States on January l, 1995.
