105 STAT. 2626 PROCLAMATION 6309—JUNE 26, 1991 4. Section 604 of the 1974 Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483], authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction. NOW. THEREFORE, I, GEORGE 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, including but not limited to sections 501, 502, 504, and 604 of the 1974 Act, do proclaim that: (1) The waivers of the application of section 504(c] of the 1974 Act shall apply to the eligible articles in the PITS subheadings and the beneficiary developing countries opposite such HTS subheadings set forth in Annex 1(a). (2) In order to provide in the nomenclature of the HTS for a waiver under the GSP for a specified designated eligible article when imported from Mexico, the HTS is modified as provided in Annex 1(b) to this proclamation. (3) In order to provide preferential tariff treatment under the GSP to certain countries which have been excluded from the benefits of the GSP for certain eligible articles imported from such countries, following my determination that a country previously excluded from receiving such benefits should again be treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to such article, the Rates of Duty 1 Special subcolumn for each of the HTS provisions enumerated in Annex 11(a) to this proclamation is modified: (i) by deleting from such subcolunm for such HTS provisions the symbol "A*" in parentheses, and (ii) by inserting in such subcolumn the symbol "A" in lieu thereof. (4) In order to provide that one or more countries which have not been treated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to an eligible article should be redesignated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to such article for purposes of the GSP, general note 3(c)(ii)(D) to the HTS is modified as provided in Annex 11(b) to this proclamation. (5) In order to provide for the continuation of previously proclaimed staged reductions on Canadian goods in the HTS provisions modified in Annex 1(b) to this proclamation, effective with respect to goods originating in the territory of Canada which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates specified in Aimex 1(c) to this proclamation, the rate of duty in the HTS set forth in the Rates of Duty 1 Special subcolumn followed by the symbol "CA" in parentheses for each of the HTS subheadings enumerated in such Annex 1(c) shall be deleted and the rate of duty provided in such Annex 1(c) inserted in lieu thereof on the dates specified. (6) In order to clarify a change in general note 3(c)(ii)(C) to the HTS, to correct a typographical error, and to modify the eligibility of Peru with respect to subheading 7113.19.10, the HTS is modified as provided in Annex III. (7) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
