modifications of the NAFTA Rules of
Origin.
SUMMARY: In Proclamation 8323 of
November 25, 2008, the President
modified the rules of origin for certain
goods of Canada under the North
American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) incorporated in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (the ‘‘HTS’’). The
proclamation stated that the
modifications would be effective on the
date that the United States Trade
Representative (USTR) announced in
the Federal Register and are effective
with respect to goods of Canada that are
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, on or after the date
indicated in the notice. The purpose of
this notice is to announce that the
effective date for the modifications is
July 1, 2009. The changes were printed
in the Federal Register of November 28,
2008, Volume 73, Number 230, page
72,682.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information, please contact
Caroyl Miller, Deputy Textile
Negotiator, Office of the United States
Trade Representative, 600 17th Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20508, fax
number (202) 395–5639.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Presidential Proclamation 6641 of
December 15, 1993, implemented the
NAFTA with respect to the United
States and, pursuant to the North
American Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act (Pub.L. 103–182)
(the ‘‘NAFTA Implementation Act’’),
incorporated in the HTS the tariff
modifications and rules of origin
necessary or appropriate to carry out the
NAFTA. Section 202 of the NAFTA
Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3332)
provides rules for determining whether
goods imported into the United States
originate in the territory of a NAFTA
country and thus are eligible for the
tariff and other treatment contemplated
under the NAFTA. Section 202(q) of the
NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C.
3332(q)) authorizes the President to
proclaim, as a part of the HTS, the rules
of origin set out in the NAFTA and to
proclaim modifications to such
previously proclaimed rules of origin,
subject to the consultation and layover
requirements of section 103(a) of the
NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C.
3313(a)).
The President determined that the
modifications to the HTS contained in
Proclamation 8323 pursuant to sections
201 and 202 of the NAFTA
Implementation Act were appropriate
and proclaimed such changes with
PO 00000
Frm 00162
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

respect to goods of Canada and modified
general note 12 to the HTS. The
proclamation further provides that the
effective date of the modifications shall
be on the date that the USTR announces
in a notice published in the Federal
Register. The modifications are effective
with respect to goods of Canada entered
or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption on the date indicated in
this notice.
On May 27, 2008, the government of
Canada notified the U.S. government
that it had obtained the necessary
authorization to implement the rule of
origin changes with respect to goods of
the United States. Subsequently,
officials of the government of Canada
and the Government of the United
States agreed to implement these
changes with respect to each other’s
eligible goods, effective July 1, 2009.

United States Trade Representative.
