Register notices issued on this subject 

include: Notice of Proposed Procedural 

Guidelines for the Development and 

Maintenance of the List of Goods From 

Countries Pursuant to the Trafficking 

Victims Protection Reauthorization Act 

of 2005 (72 FR 55808, Oct. 1, 2007);

The Secretary of Labor, acting through 

the Bureau of International Labor 

Affairs, is mandated by the TVPRA to 

‘‘carry out additional activities to 

monitor and combat forced labor and 

child labor in foreign countries.’’ 

Section 105(b)(2) of the TVPRA of 2005, 

22 U.S.C. 7112(b)(2), listed these 

activities as: 

(A) Monitor the use of forced labor 

and child labor in violation of 

international standards; 

(B) Provide information regarding 

trafficking in persons for the purpose of 

forced labor to the Office to Monitor and 

Combat Trafficking of the Department of 

State for inclusion in [the] trafficking in 

persons report required by section 

110(b) of the Trafficking Victims 

Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 

7107(b)); 

(C) Develop and make available to the 

public a list of goods from countries that 

the Bureau of International Labor Affairs 

has reason to believe are produced by 

forced labor or child labor in violation 

of international standards; 

(D) Work with persons who are 

involved in the production of goods on 

the list described in subparagraph (C) to 

create a standard set of practices that 

will reduce the likelihood that such 

persons will produce goods using the 

labor described in such subparagraph; 

and 

(E) Consult with other departments 

and agencies of the United States 

Government to reduce forced and child 

labor internationally and ensure that 

products made by forced labor and child 

labor in violation of international 

standards are not imported into the 

United States. 

On December 23, 2008, the 

Trafficking Victims Protection 

Reauthorization Act of 2008, 22 U.S.C. 

7101 came into force, setting a deadline 

of January 15, 2010 by which ILAB must 

produce an initial List and a report of 

ILAB’s implementation of its TVPRA 

mandates. 

ILAB announces the publication of 

the initial List in a new report, The 

Department of Labor’s List of Goods 

Produced by Child Labor or Forced 

Labor. The full report, including the 

List, implementation update, Frequently 

Asked Questions and a discussion of the 

List’s context, scope, methodology, and 

limitations, is available at
