(e) Authority to consolidate subheadings and modify column 2 rates of 
        duty for tariff simplification purposes

                           (1) In general

        Whenever the HTS column 1 general rates of duty for 2 or more 8-
    digit subheadings are at the same level and such subheadings are 
    subordinate to a provision required by the International Convention 
    on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, the 
    President may proclaim, subject to the consultation and layover 
    requirements of section 3524 of this title, that the goods described 
    in such subheadings be provided for in a single 8-digit subheading 
    of the HTS, and that--
            (A) the HTS column 1 general rate of duty for such single 
        subheading be the column 1 general rate of duty common to all 
        such subheadings, and
            (B) the HTS column 2 rate of duty for such single subheading 
        be the highest column 2 rate of duty for such subheadings that 
        is in effect on the day before the effective date of such 
        proclamation.

                       (2) Same level of duty

        The provisions of this subsection apply to subheadings described 
    in paragraph (1) that have the same column 1 general rate of duty--
            (A) on December 8, 1994, or
            (B) after December 8, 1994, as a result of a staged 
        reduction in such column 1 rates of duty.
