SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

During the legislative approval 

process for the CAFTA–DR, the 

Administration and the Congress 

reached an understanding on the need 

to support labor capacity-building 

efforts linked to recommendations 

identified in the White Paper of the 

Working Group of the Vice Ministers 

Responsible for Trade and Labor in the 

countries of Central America and the 

Dominican Republic. A total of $155 

million was appropriated in support of 

labor and environment capacitybuilding in FY 2005 through FY 2009. 

For more information on these 

initiatives, see the full text of the 

CAFTA–DR and the White Paper as well 

as other relevant fact sheets and reports 

posted on the respective Web sites of 

the Office of the United States Trade 

Representative, http://www.ustr.gov/

In addition, in December 2006, the 

USDOL published the procedural 

guidelines for the receipt and review of 

submissions under U.S. Free Trade 

Agreements, including the CAFTA–DR 

(71 FR 76691 Dec. 21, 2006). 

Subsequently, the U.S. held the first 

Labor Affairs Council meeting in 

November 2008, pursuant CAFTA–DR 

Article 16.4.2. Since the CAFTA–DR 

came into force, OTLA has received,

comments on the matters described in 

section 403(a)(3)(D) of the CAFTA–DR 

Implementation Act, 19 U.S.C. 

4111(a)(4).

comments under section 403(a) of the 

CAFTA–DR Implementation Act, 19 

U.S.C. 4111(a), to the Secretary of Labor,

Trade Representative. Proclamation No.
