Correction
In the Federal Register Notice of August 4, 2006, the USTR
determined that Burkina Faso had met certain customs requirements under
the AGOA. President Bush had by Proclamation 7853 previously designated
Burkina Faso as a lesser developed beneficiary country for purposes of
what was then Section 112(b)(3)(B) of the AGOA. U.S. Note 2(d) to
Subchapter XIX of chapter 98 of the HTSUS provides that countries
qualifying for designation as a lesser developed beneficiary country
shall be enumerated therein. The Federal Register notice reflecting the
USTR's determination in respect of Burkina Faso did not expressly
modify that Note to include Burkina Faso. Accordingly, Note 2(d) to
subchapter XIX of chapter 98 of the HTSUS is modified by inserting
``Burkina Faso'' in alphabetical sequence in the list of countries. Peter F. Allgeier,
Acting United States Trade Representative.
