Dear Mr. Humbert:
In your letter dated May 21, 1998, you requested a tariff

sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine
(diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output exceeding 375 kVA,
exceeding 1,000 kVA. The rate of duty will be 2.2 percent ad
valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
