PROCLAMATION 6813-^JULY 28, 1995 109 STAT. 1805 pend the designation of Maldives as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. 5. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act, and having due regard for the eligibility criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it is appropriate to designate Moldova as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. 6. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts af- fecting import treatment, and actions thereunder. NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, 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 Trade Act, do proclaim that: (1) In order to restore preferential tariff treatment under the GSP to a country that has been excluded from the benefits of the GSP for certain eligible articles, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for HTS subheadings 0713.31.40, 1102.30.00, 1103.14.00, 4104.39.20, 7113.11.50, 7113.20.50, 9401.40.00, 9401.61.60, 9401.69.80, 9403.30.80, 9403.40.90, and 9403.50.90 are modified by deleting the symbol "A*" in parentheses, and by inserting the symbol "A" in lieu thereof. (2) In order to provide that a country that has not been treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to certain eligible articles should be restored as a beneficiary developing country with respect to such articles for purposes of the GSP, general note 4(d) to the HTS is modified by deleting the following from such note: "0713.31.40 Thailand", "1102.30.00 Thailand", "1103.14.00 Thailand", "4104.39.20 Thailand", "7113.11.50 Thailand", "7113.20.50 Thailand", "9401.40.00 Thailand", "9401.61.60 Thailand", "9401.69.80 Thailand", "9403.30.80 Thailand", "9403.40.90 Thailand", and "9403.50.90 Thailand". (3)(a) The waivers of the application of section 504(c) of the Trade Act shall apply to imports of eligible articles from Thailand that are provided for in HTS subheadings 6702.90.65, 7113.11.20, 7113.19.50, and 9403.60.80. (b) In order to restore preferential tariff treatment: (i) the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for HTS subheadings 6702.90.65, 7113.11.20, and 9403.60.80 are modified by deleting the symbol "A*" in parentheses, and by inserting the symbol "A" in lieu thereof; (ii) general note 4(d) is modified by deleting the following from such note: " 67 02.90.65 Thailand", "7113.11.20 Thailand", and "9403.60.80 Thailand"; and (iii) general note 4(d) is modified by deleting "Thailand" set out opposite 7113.19.50.
