 Proc. 7350 Title 3--The President cles imported into the United States from such country to be eliminated by direction to the appropriate agencies or departments. To implement such determination or determinations, the USTR is authorized to exercise the authority provided to the President under section 604 of the 1974 Act to embody modifications and technical or conforming changes in the HTS. (6) The USTR is authorized to determine the effective date of the des- ignation of the Republic of Sierra Leone as a beneficiary sub-Saharan Afri- can country and, therefore, the date upon which Sierra Leone will be con- sidered a lesser developed beneficiary sub-Saharan African country. The determination of the USTR under this paragraph shall be set forth in a no- tice that the USTR shall cause to be published in the Federal Register. To implement such determination, the USTR is authorized to exercise the au- thority provided to the President under section 604 of the 1974 Act to em- body modifications and technical or conforming changes in the HTS. (7) Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the 1974 Act, Eritrea is des- ignated as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. (8) In order to reflect in the HTS the designation of Eritrea as a bene- ficiary developing country under the GSP, general note 4(a) to the HTS is modified by inserting in alphabetical sequence "Eritrea" in the list of inde- pendent countries. (9) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders that are inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation are superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (10) This proclamation is effective on the date of signature of this procla- mation, except that (a) the modifications to the HTS made by the Annex to this proclamation, as further modified by any notice to be published in the Federal Register as described in paragraph 4 of this proclamation, shall be effective on the date announced by the USTR in such notice, and (b) the designation of the Republic of Sierra Leone as a beneficiary sub-Saha- ran African country shall be effective on the date announced by the USTR in the Federal Register. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth. WILLIAM J. CLINTON 156
