 PROCLAMATION 4510—JUNE 22, 1977

91 STAT. 1747

TSUS items for each country as follows: For the Republic of China, item 923.90, 8 percent, item 923.91, 86 percent, and item 923.92, 6 percent; and for the Republic of Korea, item 923.93, 35 percent, and item 923.94, 65 percent. No such footwear may be entered on or after September 1, 1977, unless accompanied by an appropriate export visa issued by the exporting country and such footwear shall be counted against the applicable restraint levels. (e) Footwear exported and entered in different restraint periods.—Footwear which is exported from the foreign country during one restraint period, but is entered more than 90 days following the beginning of the subsequent restraint period, shall be counted against the restraint levels for that subsequent restraint period. Footwear, which is exported from the foreign country during one restraint period in excess of the restraint level for such item for such period, may be entered after the beginning of the next restraint period and shall be counted against the restraint level for such item for such subsequent restraint period. (f) Carryover.—Except as provided for in paragraph (h), if the restraint level for any item has not been filled for a restraint period, upon appropriate request of the foreign government involved, the shortfall may be entered under the same item during the following restraint period provided that the amount of shortfall so entered does not exceed 11 percent of the restraint level for the restraint period during which the shortfall occurred. If, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ij), all or part of a restraint level of any item has been reallocated to the restraint level of one or more of the other items, such amount will not be considered a shortfall, and therefore is not available for carryover. (g) Exceeding restraint levels.—Upon appropriate request of the foreign government involved, restraint levels for each item may be exceeded by not more than 6 percent during any one restraint period, except as provided for in paragraph (h). If a restraint level is exceeded during a restraint period, the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations shall make a downward adjustment of the restraint level for the next succeeding restraint period in the absolute amount the preceding restraint level was exceeded. (h) Limitation on paragraphs (/) and (g).—Paragraphs (f) and (g) may not be used in combination to increase the restraint level applicable to any item in any restraint period by more than 11 percent. (ij) Adjustments.—Upjon appropriate request of the foreign government involved for an adjustment of the restraint levels between items as provided for herein, the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations shall adjust the restraint level accordingly, such adjustments to be eflective on and after the date of their publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER. Except as provided for later in this paragraph, an upward adjustment in a restraint level for exports from a foreign country shall not exceed the percentage of the respective base limit shown below and must be accompanied by a downward adjustment in the same absolute amount of the restraint level applicable to one or more of the other items set forth in the table below for exports during the same restraint period from the foreign country involved. The Special Representative for Trade Negotiations may, in his discretion, permit an upward adjustment of not over 50 percent of any restraint level applicable to item 923.92 in any restraint period provided that the restraint levels applicable to items 923.90 or 923.91 in the same restraint period are reduced by the same absolute amount.
