How's this..  It will set the rate-limit for either ingoing or outgoing.
I just used out bound in the example.

router1(config-if)#rate output ?
  WORD          8,000-10,000,000,000 bits per second for conform rate
(postfix k, m,
                g optional; comma allowed if used properly)
  access-group  Match access list
  dscp          Match dscp value
  qos-group     Match qos-group ID


And just for an fyi:
router1(config-if)#?
Interface configuration commands:
  <snipped a few entries>
  bandwidth               Set bandwidth informational parameter

- The T1 ref was just anecdotal...

OK...

Thank you for posting, but I don't think your example would apply in
this situation.

I am talking about an ATM circuit here, not a T1. If the bandwidth
statement is just "for show" that's fine, but what about the UBR
statement. Is that "for real," or is it also just "for show"?

If they are both just for show, then how would you limit an ATM circuit
to a specific amount of bandwidth?

Well,
