SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ATPA 

(19 U.S.C. 3201–06), as renewed and 

amended by the Andean Trade 

Promotion and Drug Eradication Act 

(ATPDEA) in the Trade Act of 2002 

(Pub. L. 107–210) and extended by the 

Andean Trade Preference Act, (Pub L. 

110–436), provides for trade benefits for 

eligible Andean countries. The current 

beneficiaries of the ATPA are Colombia, 

Ecuador and Peru. Consistent with 

Section 3103(d) of the ATPDEA, USTR 

promulgated regulations (15 CFR part 

2016) (68 FR 43922) regarding the 

review of eligibility of articles and 

countries for the benefits of the ATPA, 

as amended. The 2009 Annual ATPA 

Review is the sixth such review to be 

conducted pursuant to the ATPA review 

regulations. To qualify for the benefits 

of the ATPA and ATPDEA, each country 

must meet several eligibility criteria, as 

set forth in sections 203(c) and (d), and 

section 204(b)(6)(B) of the ATPA, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 3202(c), (d); 19 

U.S.C. 3203(b)(6)(B)). Under section 

203(e) of the ATPA, as amended (19 

U.S.C. 3202(e)), the President may 

withdraw or suspend the designation of 

any country as an ATPA or ATPDEA 

beneficiary country, and may also 

withdraw, suspend, or limit preferential 

treatment for any product of any such 

beneficiary country, if the President 

determines that, as a result of changed 

circumstances, the country is not 

meeting the eligibility criteria. 

The ATPA regulations provide the 

schedule of dates for conducting an 

annual review, unless otherwise 

specified by Federal Register notice. 

Notice is hereby given that, in order to 

be considered in the 2009 Annual ATPA 

Review, all petitions to withdraw or 

suspend the designation of a country as 

an ATPA or ATPDEA beneficiary 

country, or to withdraw, suspend, or 

limit application of preferential 

treatment to any article of any ATPA 

beneficiary country under the ATPA, or 

to any article of any ATPDEA 

beneficiary country under section 

204(b)(1), (3), or (4) (19 U.S.C. 

3202(b)(1), (3), (4)) of the ATPA, must 

be received by the Andean 

Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee no later than 5 p.m. EDT on 

September 22, 2009. Petitioners should 

consult 15 CFR 2016.0 regarding the 

content of such petitions.

has moved over the line for at least 2 

years; (2) there is no overhead traffic on

$13,000.00. The City will use this 

$13,000.00 (together with $30,000.00
