70474 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 227 / Monday, November 26, 2012 / Notices 

Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005 

(‘‘TVPRA of 2005’’), Public Law 109– 

164 (2006), directed the Secretary of 

Labor, acting through ILAB, to ‘‘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’’ (TVPRA List). 

Pursuant to this mandate, in 

December 2007 DOL published in the 

Federal Register a set of procedural 

guidelines that ILAB follows in 

developing the TVPRA List (72 FR 

73374). The guidelines set forth the 

criteria by which information is 

evaluated; established procedures for 

public submission of information to be 

considered by ILAB; and identified the 

process ILAB follows in maintaining 

and updating the List after its initial 

publication. 

ILAB published its first TVPRA List 

on September 30, 2009, and has issued 

updates in 2010, 2011, and 2012. This 

List is updated periodically as 

additional countries and territories are 

researched and new information for 

countries and territories already 

reviewed is evaluated. For a copy of the 

2012 TVPRA report, Frequently Asked 

Questions, and other materials relating 

to the TVPRA List, see ILAB’s TVPRA 

Web page at: http://www.dol.gov/ILAB/ 

programs/ocft/tvpra.htm. 

II. Executive Order No. 13126 (E.O. 

13126) declared that it was ‘‘the policy 

of the United States Government * * * 

that the executive agencies shall take 

appropriate actions to enforce the laws 

prohibiting the manufacture or 

importation of goods, wares, articles, 

and merchandise mined, produced, or 

manufactured wholly or in part by 

forced or indentured child labor.’’ 

Pursuant to E.O. 13126, and following 

public notice and comment, the 

Department of Labor published in the 

January 18, 2001, Federal Register, a 

final list of products (‘‘E.O. List’’), 

identified by country of origin, that the 

Department, in consultation and 

cooperation with the Departments of 

State (DOS) and Treasury [relevant 

responsibilities now within the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS)], had a reasonable basis to believe 

might have been mined, produced or 

manufactured with forced or indentured 

child labor (66 FR 5353). In addition to 

the List, the Department also published 

on January 18, 2001, ‘‘Procedural 

Guidelines for Maintenance of the List 

of Products Requiring Federal 

Contractor Certification as to Forced or 

Indentured Child Labor,’’ which provide 

for maintaining, reviewing, and, as 

appropriate, revising the EO List (66 FR 

5351). 

Pursuant to Sections D through G of 

the Procedural Guidelines, the EO List 

may be updated through consideration 

of submissions by individuals or 

through OCFT’s own initiative. 

DOL has officially revised the EO List 

three times, on July 20, 2010, May 31, 

2011, and April 3, 2012, each time after 

public notice and comment as well as 

consultation with DOS and DHS. In 

addition, DOL published an initial 

determination on September 27, 2012 

proposing another revision to the EO 

List and requesting public comment (76 

FR 61384). 

The current EO List, Procedural 

Guidelines, and related information can 

be accessed on the Internet at http://

main.htm. 

III. The Trade and Development Act 

of 2000 (TDA), Public Law 106–200 

(2002), established a new eligibility 

criterion for receipt of trade benefits 

under the Generalized System of 

Preferences (GSP), Caribbean Basin 

Trade and Partnership Act (CBTPA), 

and Africa Growth and Opportunity Act 

(AGOA). The TDA amends the GSP 

reporting requirements of Section 504 of 

the Trade Act of 1974, 19 U.S.C. 2464, 

to require that the President’s annual 

report on the status of internationally 

recognized worker rights include 

‘‘findings by the Secretary of Labor with 

respect to the beneficiary country’s 

implementation of its international 

commitments to eliminate the worst 

forms of child labor.’’ Title II of the TDA 

and the TDA Conference Report, Joint 

Explanatory Statement of the Committee 

of Conference, 106th Cong.2d.Sess. 

(2000), indicate that the same criterion 

applies for the receipt of benefits under 

CBTPA and AGOA, respectively. 

In addition, the Andean Trade 

Preference Act, as amended and 

expanded by the Andean Trade 

Promotion and Drug Eradication Act, 

Public Law 107–210, Title XXXI (2002), 

includes as a criterion for receiving 

benefits ‘‘[w]hether the country has 

implemented its commitments to 

eliminate the worst forms of child labor 

as defined in section 507(6) of the Trade 

Act of 1974.’’ DOL fulfills these 

reporting mandates through annual 

publication of the U.S. Department of 

Labor’s Findings on the Worst Forms of 

Child Labor with respect to countries 

eligible for the aforementioned 

programs. The 2011 report and 

additional background information are 

available on the Internet at http:// 

www.dol.gov/ILAB/programs/ocft/ 

tda.htm. 

Information Requested and Invitation 

to Comment: Interested parties are 

invited to comment and provide 

information regarding DOL’s 2011 TDA 

Report; the 2012 TVPRA List; and the 

current E.O. 13126 List, all of which 

may be found on the Internet at 

http://www.dol.gov/ilab/programs/ocft/ 

research.htm or obtained from OCFT. 

DOL requests comments or information 

to update the findings and suggestions 

for government action for countries 

reviewed in the TDA Report, as well as 

to assess each country’s individual 

advancement toward eliminating the 

worst forms of child labor during the 

current reporting period compared to 

previous years. For more information on 

the types of issues covered in the TDA 

Report, please see Appendix II of the 

report. In addition, DOL especially 

appreciates information on the nature 

and extent of child labor, forced labor, 

and forced or indentured child labor in 

the production of goods in foreign 

countries as well as information on 

government, industry, or third-party 

actions to address these issues for 

countries reviewed for the E.O. and 

TVPRA lists. Materials submitted 

should be confined to the specific topics 

of these reports. DOL will generally 

consider sources with dates up to five 

years old (i.e., data not older than 

January 1, 2007). DOL appreciates the 

extent to which submissions clearly 

indicate the time period to which they 

apply. In the interest of transparency, 

classified information will not be 

accepted. Where applicable, information 

submitted should indicate its source or 

sources, and copies of the source 

material should be provided. If primary 

sources are utilized, such as research 

studies, interviews, direct observations, 

or other sources of quantitative or 

qualitative data, details on the research 

or data-gathering methodology should 

be provided. Please see the 2011 TDA 

Report, 2012 TVPRA List, and E.O. List 

for a complete explanation of relevant 

terms, definitions, and reporting 

guidelines employed by DOL, or refer to 

ILAB’s previous Request for Information 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9267). 

This notice is a general solicitation of 

comments from the public. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of 

November 2012. 

Carol Pier, 

Acting Deputy Undersecretary for 

International Affairs.
