ATPDEA, USTR promulgated
regulations (15 CFR part 2016) (68 FR
43922) regarding the review of
eligibility of articles and countries for
the benefits of the ATPA, as amended.
The 2005 Annual ATPA Review is the

of the ATPA and ATPDEA, each country
must meet several eligibility criteria, as
E:\FR\FM\18AUN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 159 / Thursday, August 18, 2005 / Notices

amended (19 U.S.C. 3202(c), (d); 19
U.S.C. 3203(b)(6)(B)), and as outlined in
the Federal Register notice USTR
published to request public comments
regarding the designation of eligible
countries as ATPDEA beneficiary
countries (67 FR 53379). Under section
203(e) of the ATPA, as amended (19

withdraw or suspend the designation of
any country as an ATPA or ATPDEA
beneficiary country, and may also

beneficiary country, if the President
determines that, as a result of changed
circumstances, the country is not
meeting the eligibility criteria.
The ATPA regulations provide the
schedule of dates for conducting an
annual review, unless otherwise
specified by Federal Register notice.
