of the Andean Trade Preference Act, as Amended

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 301 of title 3 of the United States Code and the Act, you are hereby assigned the function vested in me by section 203(e)(2)(A) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 3202(e)(2)(A)), to publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing the proposed action set forth above.

You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
