OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES
TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
Notice of Effective Date of
Modifications to a Rule of Origin of the
United States-Australia Free Trade
Agreement
Office of the United States
Trade Representative.
ACTION: Notice of effective date for
goods of Australia of certain
modifications to a product-specific rule
of origin under the United StatesAustralia Free Trade Agreement
(USAFTA).
AGENCY:
In Proclamation 8334 of
December 31, 2008, the President
modified the rules of origin for certain
goods of Australia under the USAFTA.
While these modifications were
incorporated in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (the
‘‘HTS’’) at that time, the proclamation
stated that the modifications would be
effective on a date that the United States
Trade Representative (USTR)
announced in the Federal Register. This
notice announces that the effective date
for the modifications is June 1, 2012.
This notice also makes a technical
correction to the rule of origin as set out
in proclamation 8334.
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, email
address: caroyl_miller@ustr.eop.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Presidential Proclamation 7857 of
December 20, 2004, implemented the
USAFTA with respect to the United
States and, pursuant to the United
States-Australia Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act (the ‘‘USAFTA
Act’’), incorporated in the HTS the tariff
modifications and rules of origin
necessary or appropriate to carry out the
USAFTA. Section 203 of the USAFTA
Implementation Act provides rules for
determining whether goods imported
into the United States originate in the
territory of Australia and, thus, are
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

eligible for the tariff and other treatment
contemplated under the USAFTA.
Section 203(o) of the USAFTA Act
authorizes the President to proclaim, as
a part of the HTS, the rules of origin set
out in the USAFTA and to proclaim
modifications to such previously
proclaimed rules of origin, subject to the
consultation and layover requirements
of section 104 of the USAFTA Act.
The President determined pursuant to
sections 201 and 203 of the USAFTA
Act that the modifications to the HTS
contained in Proclamation 8334 were
appropriate and proclaimed such
changes with respect to goods of
Australia and modified general note 28
to the HTS. The proclamation further
provides that the modifications are
effective with respect to goods of
Australia entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption on the date
that USTR announces in a notice
published in the Federal Register.
On March 15, 2012, the Government
of Australia notified the Government of
the United States that it had completed
its applicable domestic procedures to
give effect to the agreement to change
the USAFTA rules of origin for certain
yarns of viscose rayon fiber with respect
to goods of the United States.
Subsequently, officials of the
Government of Australia and the
Government of the United States agreed
to implement these changes with
respect to each other’s eligible goods,
effective June 1, 2012.
In Proclamation 6969 of January 27,
1997, the President authorized the
USTR to exercise the authority provided
to the President under section 604 of the
Trade Act of 1974 to embody
rectifications, technical or conforming
changes, or similar modifications in the
HTS. The United States and Australia
have identified a technical correction to
the modification to the rule of origin set
out in Proclamation 8334. Accordingly,
general note 28 to the HTS of the United
States, subdivision (n), paragraph 1, is
corrected to refer to subheadings
5501.10 through 5501.30, rather than
5501.00 through 5501.30.
Ambassador Ron Kirk,
United States Trade Representative.
