CHAPTER 21--NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE
SUBCHAPTER I--APPROVAL OF, AND GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO, NORTH
AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT
Sec. 3314. Implementing actions in anticipation of entry into
force and initial regulations
(a) Implementing actions
After December 8, 1993--
(1) the President may proclaim such actions; and
(2) other appropriate officers of the United States Government
may issue such regulations;
as may be necessary to ensure that any provision of this Act, or
amendment made by this Act, that takes effect on the date the Agreement
enters into force is appropriately implemented on such date, but no such
proclamation or regulation may have an effective date earlier than the
date of entry into force. The 15-day restriction in section 3313(b) of
this title on the taking effect of proclaimed actions is waived to the
extent that the application of such restriction would prevent the taking
effect on the date the Agreement enters into force of any action
proclaimed under this section.
(b) Initial regulations
Initial regulations necessary or appropriate to carry out the
actions proposed in the statement of administrative action submitted
under section 3311(a)(2) of this title to implement the Agreement shall,
to the maximum extent feasible, be issued within 1 year after the date
of entry into force of the Agreement; except that interim or initial
regulations to implement those Uniform Regulations regarding rules of
origin provided for under article 511 of the Agreement shall be issued
no later than the date of entry into force of the Agreement. In the case
of any implementing action that takes effect on a date after the date of
entry into force of the Agreement, initial regulations to carry out that
action shall, to the maximum extent feasible, be issued within 1 year
after such effective date.
