SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article 5 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture provides that additional import duties may be imposed on imports of products subject to tariffication during the Uruguay Round if certain conditions are met. The agreement permits additional duties to be charged if the price of an individual shipment of imported products falls below the average price for similar goods imported during the years 1986-88 by a specified percentage. It also permits additional duties to be imposed if the volume of imports of an article exceeds the average of the most recent three years for which data is available by 25 percent. These additional duties may not be imposed on quantities for which minimum or current access commitments were made during the Uruguay Round negotiations, and only one type of safeguard, price or quantity based, may be applied at any given time to an article. Section of 405 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires that the President cause to be published in the Federal Register the agricultural products subject to safeguards, the price and quantity trigger levels which will be applied to these products, and the relevant period for the quantity based safeguard for each product. The President delegated this duty to the Secretary of Agriculture in Presidential Proclamation No. 6763, dated December 23, 1994. Additional information on the levels of the additional duties and how they will be applied is provided in subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). These duties become effective on the date the President proclaims as the date of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreements for the United States. It is anticipated that this date will be January 1, 1995. As provided in section 405 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, consistent with Article 5 of the Agreement On Agriculture, additional duties may be applied in accordance with provisions of subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the HTS for the products, and under the conditions described in the annex to this notice.
