 Proclamations Proc. 8097 and that the President determines to have satisfied the requirements of sec- tion 213(b)(4)(A)(ii) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) (19 U.S.C. 2703(b)(4)(A)(ii)). Section 213(b)(3) of the CBERA (19 U.S.C. 2703(b)(3)) provides that the tariff treatment accorded at any time under the CBTPA to any article referred to in section 2\1773(b)(\177)(B) through (F) of the CBERA (19 U.S.C. 2703(b)(\177)(B) through (F)) that is a CBTPA originating good shall be identical to the tariff treatment that is accorded at such time under Annex 302.2 of the NAFTA to an article described in the same 8-digit subheading of the HTS that is a good of Mexico and is imported into the United States. 7. Pursuant to section 213(b) of the CBERA, Proclamation 7351 included the staged reductions in rates of duty that the President determined to be necessary or appropriate to provide such identical tariff treatment to CBTPA originating goods. In order to ensure the continuation of the rates of duty for imported goods under tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention, I have determined that addi- tional modifications to the HTS are necessary or appropriate to carry out the duty reductions previously proclaimed. 8. Presidential Proclamation 7512 of December 7, 200% implemented the Agreement Between the United States of America and the Hashemite King- dom of Jordan on the Establishment of a Free Trade Area (JFTA), with re- spect to the United States and, pursuant to section \1770\177 of the United States-Jordan Free Trade Area Implementation Act (the "JFTA Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 2\17712 note), the staged reductions in rates of duty that I determined to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the concessions set forth in Annex 2A to the JFTA. In order to ensure the continuation of such staged reductions in rates of duty for originating goods under tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention, I have de- termined that additional modifications to the HTS are necessary or appro- priate to carry out the duty reductions previously proclaimed. 9. Presidential Proclamation 7747 of December 30, 2003, implemented the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USSFTA) with respect to the United States and, pursuant to section 20\177 of the United States-Singa- pore Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the "USSFTA Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 3805 note), the staged reductions in rates of duty that I determined to be necessary or appropriate to carry out or apply articles 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, and 2A2 of the USSFTA and the schedule of reductions with respect to the Republic of Singapore set forth in Annex 2B of the USSFTA. In order to ensure the continuation of such staged reductions in rates of duty for origi- nating goods under tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention, I have determined that additional modi- fications to the HTS are necessary or appropriate to carry out the duty re- ductions previously proclaimed. 10. Presidential Proclamation 7746 of December 30, 2003, implemented the United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement (USCFTA) with respect to the United States and, pursuant to section 20\177 of the United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the "CFTA Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 3805 note), the staged reductions in rates of duty that I determined to be nec- essary or appropriate to carry out or apply articles 3.3 (including the sched- ule of United States duty reductions with respect to originating goods set forth in Annex 3.3 to the USCFTA), 3.7, 3.9, and 3.20(8), (9), (10), and (ll) 201

 Proc. 8097 Title 3--The President of the USCFTA. In order to ensure the continuation of such staged reduc- tions in rates of duty for originating goods under tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention, I have deter- mined that additional modifications to the HTS are necessary or appro- priate to carry out the duty reductions previously proclaimed. ll. Presidential Proclamation 7857 of December 20, 2004, implemented the United States-Australia Free Trade Agreement (USAFTA) with respect to the United States and, pursuant to section 201 of the United States-Aus- tralia Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the "USAFTA Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 3805 note), the staged reductions in rates of duty that I determined to be necessary or appropriate to carry out or apply articles 2.3, 2.5, and 2.6 of the USAFTA and the schedule of reductions with respect to Aus- tralia set forth in Annex 2B of the USAFTA. \1772. Because the substance of the changes to the Convention will be re- flected in slightly differing form in the national tariff schedules of the par- ties to the USAFTA, the rules of origin set out in Annexes 4A and 5A of that Agreement must be changed to ensure that the tariff and certain other treatment accorded under the USAFTA to originating goods will continue to be provided under the tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention. The USAFTA parties have agreed to make these changes. \1773. Section 203 of the USAFTA Act provides certain rules for determining whether a good is an originating good for the purposes of implementing tar- iff treatment under the USAFTA. Section 203(0) of the USAFTA Act au- thorizes the President to proclaim the rules of origin set out in the USAFTA and any subordinate tariff categories necessary to carry out the USAFTA. \1774. I have determined that the modifications to the HTS proclaimed in this proclamation pursuant to sections 201 and 203 of the USAFTA Act are nec- essary or appropriate to ensure that the tariff and certain other treatment accorded under the USAFTA will continue to be given to originating goods under tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention and to carry out the duty reductions previously pro- claimed. \1775. Presidential Proclamation 797\177 of December 22, 2005, implemented the United States-Morocco Free Trade Agreement (USMFTA) with respect to the United States and, pursuant to section 20\177 of the United States-Mo- rocco Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the "USMFTA Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 3805 note), the staged reductions in rates of duty that I determined to be necessary or appropriate to carry out or apply articles 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 4.% 4.3.9, 4.3A0, 4.3A% 4.3A3, 4.3A4, and 4.3A5 of the USMFTA and the schedule of reductions with respect to Morocco set forth in Annex IV of the USMFTA. In order to ensure the continuation of such staged reductions in rates of duty for originating goods under tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention, I have determined that additional modifications to the HTS are necessary or appropriate to carry out the duty reductions previously proclaimed. \1776. Presidential Proclamations 7987 of February 28, 2006, 799\177 of March 24, 2006, 7996 of March 3\177, 2006, and 8034 of June 30, 2006, implemented 202

In order to en- sure the continuation of such staged reductions in rates of duty for origi- nating goods under tariff categories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Convention, I have determined that additional modi- fications to the HTS are necessary or appropriate to carry out the duty re- ductions previously proclaimed. 17. Presidential Proclamation 8039 of July 27, 2006, implemented the United States-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement (USBFTA) with respect to the United States and, pursuant to section 20\177 of the United States-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the "USBFTA Act") (19 U.S.C. 3805 note), the staged reductions in rates of duty that I determined to be necessary or appropriate to carry out or apply articles 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 3.2.8, and 3.2.9, and the schedule of reductions with respect to Bahrain set forth in Annex 2-B of the USBFTA. In order to ensure the continuation of such staged reductions in rates of duty for originating goods under tariff cat- egories that are being modified to reflect the amendments to the Conven- tion, I have determined that additional modifications to the HTS are nec- essary or appropriate to carry out the duty reductions previously pro- claimed. 18. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the "Trade Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the sub- stance of the provisions of that Act, and of other Acts, affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction. Section 1206(c) of the 1988 Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 3006(c)), provides that any modifications proclaimed by the President under section \177206(a) of that Act may not take effect before the thirtieth day after the date on which the text of the proclamation is published in the Federal Register. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to sections l102 and 1206 of the 1988 Act, section 214 of the CBERA, section 20\177 of the NAFTA Implementation Act, section \177l\177 of the URAA, section \1770\177 of the JFTA Act, section 20\177 of the USSFTA Act, section 201 of the USCFTA Act, sections 20\177 and 203 of the USAFTA Act, section 20\177 of the USMFTA Act, section 20\177 of the CAFTA-DR Act, section 20\177 of the USBFTA Act, and section 604 of the Trade Act do proclaim that: (1) In order to modify the HTS to conform it to the Convention or any amendment thereto recommended for adoption, to promote the uniform ap- plication of the Convention, to establish additional subordinate tariff cat- egories, and to make technical and conforming changes to existing provi- sions, the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex I of Publication 3898 of the United States International Trade Commission, entitled, "Modif}'cations to the Harmonized Tariff' Schedule of the United States Under Section 1206 203

 Proc. 8098 Title 3--The President IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8098 of December 29, 2006 To Take Certain Actions Under the African Growth and Opportunity Act and the Generalized System of Preferences By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation 1. Section 506A(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the "1974 Act")(19 U.S.C. 2466a(a)(1)), as added by section 111(a) of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (title I of Public Law 106-200)(AGOA), au- thorizes the President to designate a country listed in section 107 of the AGOA (19 U.S.C. 3706) as a "beneficiary sub-Saharan African country" if the President determines that the country meets the eligibility requirements set forth in section 104 of the AGOA (19 U.S.C. 3703), as well as the eligi- bility criteria set forth in section 502 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462). 2. Section 104 of the AGOA authorizes the President to designate a country listed in section 107 of the AGOA as an "eligible sub-Saharan African country" if the President determines that the country meets certain eligi- bility requirements. 3. Section 112(b)(3)(B) of the AGOA (19 U.S.C. 3721(b)(3)(B)) provides spe- cial rules for certain apparel articles imported from "lesser developed bene- ficiary sub-Saharan African countries." 4. Pursuant to section 104 of the AGOA and section 506A(a)(1) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that the Republic of Liberia (Liberia) meets the eli- gibility requirements set forth or referenced therein, and I have decided to designate Liberia as an eligible sub-Saharan African country and as a bene- ficiary sub-Saharan African country. 5. I further determine that Liberia satisfies the criterion for treatment as a "lesser developed beneficiary sub-Saharan African country" under section 112(b)(3)(B) of the AGOA. 6. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502(a) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461, 2462(a)), the President is authorized to designate countries as beneficiary developing countries and to designate any beneficiary developing country as a least-developed beneficiary developing country, for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program. 7. Section 502(b)(1)(C) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(b)(1)(C)) specifies that European Union Member States may not be designated as beneficiary developing countries for purposes of the GSP. 8. Section 507(2) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2467(2)) provides that in the case of an association of countries that is a free trade area or customs union, or that is contributing to a comprehensive regional economic inte- gration among its members through appropriate means, the President may 206

 Proclamations Proc. 8098 provide that members of such an association other than members that are barred from designation under section 502(b) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(b)) shall be treated as one country for purposes of the GSP. 9. Pursuant to section 502 of the \177974 Act, and taking into account the fac- tors set forth in section 502(c)(\1779 U.S.C. 2462(c)), I have determined that East Timor should be designated as a beneficiary developing country under the GSP. \1770. Pursuant to section 502 of the \177974 Act, and having considered the fac- tors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c), I have also determined that East Timor should be designated as a least-developed beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. \177. In accordance with section 502(b)(\177)(C) of the \177974 Act, I have deter- mined that Bulgaria and Romania may no longer be designated as bene- ficiary developing countries for purposes of the GSP, effective for each of these countries when it becomes a European Union Member State. 12. On June 29, 2005, I determined that currently qualifying members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) should be treated as one country for purposes of the GSP. In Proclamation 79\1772 of that date, I added SAARC and the currently qualifying countries to general note 4(a) to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Pursuant to section 507(2) of the \177974 Act, I have determined that Afghanistan should be des- ignated as a member of SAARC for purposes of the GSP on the date that it becomes a SAARC member. \1773. Section 604 of the \177974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2483), as amended, authorizes the President to embody in the HTS of the United States the substance of relevant provisions of that Act, or other acts affecting import treatment, and of actions taken thereunder. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to section \17704 of the AGOA and title V and section 604 of the \177974 Act (\1779 U.S.C. 246\177-67, 2483), do proclaim that: (1) Liberia is designated as an eligible sub-Saharan African country and as a beneficiary sub-Saharan African country. (2) In order to reflect this designation in the HTS, general note 16(a) to the HTS is modified by inserting in alphabetical sequence in the list of bene- ficiary sub-Saharan African countries "Republic of Liberia," effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January \177, 2007. (3) For purposes of section l12(b)(3)(B) of the AGOA, Liberia is a lesser de- veloped beneficiary sub-Saharan African country. (4) East Timor is designated as a beneficiary developing country for pur- poses of the GSP. (5) In order to reflect this designation in the HTS, general note 4(a) to the HTS is modified by adding in alphabetical order "East Timor" to the list entitled, "Independent Countries," effective with respect to articles en- tered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the twen- tieth day after the date of this proclamation. 207

(8) Bulgaria and Romania shall no longer be designated as beneficiary de- veloping countries for purposes of the GSP upon the date that each country becomes a European Union Member State. The United States Trade Rep- resentative shall announce each such date in a notice published in the Fed- eral Register. (9) In order to reflect these changes in the HTS, general note 4(a) to the HTS is modified by deleting "Bulgaria" and "Romania" from the list enti- tled, "Independent Countries," effective for each of these countries with re- spect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the day on which that country becomes a European Union Mem- ber State. (10) Afghanistan is designated as a member of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) for purposes of the GSP on the date that it becomes a SAARC member. The United States Trade Representative shall announce such date in a notice published in the Federal Register. (ll) In order to reflect this determination in the HTS, general note 4(a) to the HTS is modified by adding in alphabetical order "Afghanistan" to the list entitled, "Member Countries of the South Asian Association for Re- gional Cooperation (SAARC)," effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the day on which Afghanistan becomes a SAARC member. (\1772) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that are inconsistent with the actions taken in this proclamation are superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.
