Background: In his request letter
(dated March 22, 2012), the USTR asked
that the Commission provide advice on
the probable effect on U.S. trade under
the United States-Korea Free Trade
Agreement (FTA) and total U.S. trade of
adding references to HS 6104.32 to
correct the relevant product-specific
rules of origin. He stated that the United
States and Korea have confirmed that a
reference to HS 6104.32 was
inadvertently omitted through a clerical
error from the relevant product-specific
rules of origin in Annex 4–A (specific
rules of origin for textile or apparel
goods) of both the English and Korean
language versions of the final text of the
FTA. He said that HS 6104.32 was the
subject of negotiations and is included
in the corresponding product-specific
rules of origin in other U.S. FTAs. He
further stated that, in order to correct
this clerical error, on March 5, 2012, the
United States and Korea amended the
relevant product-specific rules of origin
in Annex 4–A to include references to
HS 6104.32 and that this amendment
will go into effect after the United States
and Korea exchange written notification
that they have completed their
respective applicable legal requirements
and procedures. The USTR also noted
that, pursuant to section 202 (o)(2)(B)(ii)
of the United-States-Korea Free Trade
Agreement Implementation Act
(Implementation Act), before the 1-year
period beginning on the date on which
the FTA enters into force, the President
is authorized, subject to the consultation
and layover provisions of the
Implementation Act, to proclaim
modifications to the HTS to correct any
typographical, clerical, or nonsubstantive technical error regarding the
provisions of chapters 50–63 (as
included in Annex 4–A of the FTA).

hearing is planned. However, interested
