Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(C) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that certain countries should be redesignated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to certain eligible articles that previously had been imported in quantities exceeding the competitive need limitations of section 503(c)(2)(A). 11. 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 beneficiary developing countries. For certain articles, I have decided that the effective date of the waiver shall be determined by the USTR. 12. Pursuant to section 503(d) of the 1974 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 countries. I have received the advice of the International Trade Commission on whether any industries in the United States are likely to be adversely affected by such waivers, and I have determined, based on that advice and on the considerations described in sections 501 and 502(c), that such waivers are in the national economic interest of the United States. For a certain article, I have decided that the effective date of the waiver shall be determined by the USTR. 13. Pursuant to section 507(2) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that members of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) should be treated as one country for purposes of title V of the 1974 Act. 14. Pursuant to section 507(2) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that members of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) should be treated as one country for purposes of title V of the 1974 Act. The USTR shall determine which specific members of the SADC are to be included in the designation under section 507(2) of the 1974 Act and shall determine the effective date or dates of the designation. The USTR shall announce by publication in the Federal Register the specific SADC members to be included in the designation and the ef- fective date or dates, 15. Pursuant to section 507(2) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that members of the Tripartite Commission for East African Cooperation (EAC) should be treated as one country for purposes of title V of the 1974 Act. The USTR shall determine which specific members of the EAC are to be included in the designation under section 507(2) of the 1974 Act and shall determine the effective date or dates of the designation. The USTR shall announce by publication in the Federal Register the specific EAC members to be included in the designation and the effective date or dates. 16.
