SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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

1854).

requirements for women's and girls' wool coats in Category 435 
manufactured in the Russian Federation and exported from Russia on and 
after March 1, 1997. Because textile and apparel imports into the

requirements. Accordingly, pursuant to the Visa Arrangement between the 
Governments of the United States of America and the Russian Federation 
that was signed on October 22, 1996 and December 31, 1996, CITA has 
notified the Russian Federation that it is terminating visa
