Effective on October 23, 2002, you are directed to adjust the limits for the following categories, as provided for under the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing:
| Category | Adjusted twelve-month limit1 |
|---|---|

| 1 The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports exported after December 31, 2001. | |
The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has determined that these actions fall within the foreign affairs exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
Sincerely,
