Dated: June 3, 1994.

AGENCY: Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Nat Cohen, International Trade Specialist, Office of Textiles and

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, (202) 482-3400.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended;

section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 U.S.C.

1854).

When the Uruguay Round agreement on textiles and clothing enters

into force, trade under the following classifications of the Harmonized

Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA) will be

required to be counted in square meter equivalents. The conversion

factors below will be used to convert trade from the primary unit of

quantity reported in the HTSUSA to square meter equivalents. The

remaining classifications subject to the terms of the agreement for

textiles and clothing under the Uruguay Round are grouped into textile

categories and take the conversion factor applicable to categories to

which they belong.

Conversion factors for the great majority of the classifications

below were derived by using the conversion factor of a similar product

that is assigned to a textile category. For instance, the conversion

factor for silk sweaters is the same as the conversion factor for the

silk blend sweater category and the man-made fiber sweater category.

Conversion factors were derived in this way for classifications

representing over 98% of the trade entered in the classifications

below.
