Section 3103 of the Trade Act of 2002 

amended the Andean Trade Preference 

Act (ATPA) to provide for duty and 

quota-free treatment for certain textile 

and apparel articles imported from 

designated Andean Trade Promotion 

and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) 

beneficiary countries. Section 

204(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the amended ATPA 

provides duty- and quota-free treatment 

for certain apparel articles assembled in 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries from 

regional fabric and components, subject 

to quantitative limitation. More 

specifically, this provision applies to 

apparel articles sewn or otherwise 

assembled in one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries from fabrics or 

from fabric components formed or from 

components knit-to-shape, in one or 

more ATPDEA beneficiary countries, 

from yarns wholly formed in the United 

States or one or more ATPDEA 

beneficiary countries (including fabrics 

not formed from yarns, if such fabrics 

are classifiable under heading 5602 and 

5603 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(HTS) and are formed in one or more 

ATPDEA beneficiary countries). Such 

apparel articles may also contain certain 

other eligible fabrics, fabric 

components, or components knit-toshape. 

Title VII of the Tax Relief and Health 

Care Act (TRHCA) of 2006, Pub L. No. 

107–432, extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to June 30, 2007. See Section 

7002(a) of the TRHCA 2006. H.R. 1830, 

110th Cong. (2007), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to February 29, 

2008. H.R. 5264, 110th Cong. (2008), 

further extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to December 31, 2008. H.R. 7222, 

110th Cong. (2008), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to December 31, 

2009. H.R 4284, 111th Cong. (2009), 

further extended the expiration of the 

ATPA to December 31, 2010. H.R 6517, 

111th Cong. (2010), further extended the 

expiration of the ATPA to February 12, 

2011. 

The purpose of this notice is to extend 

the period of the quantitative limitation 

for preferential tariff treatment under 

the regional fabric provision for imports 

of qualifying apparel articles from 

Colombia and Ecuador for a six-week 

period, through February 12, 2011. With 

respect to qualifying apparel articles 

from Peru, the termination of 

preferential treatment is effective 

December 31, 2010. 

For the period beginning on October 

1, 2010 and extending through February 

12, 2011, the aggregate quantity of 

imports eligible for preferential 

treatment under the regional fabric 

provision is 1,238,203,339 square 

meters equivalent. Apparel articles 

entered in excess of this quantity will be 

subject to otherwise applicable tariffs. 

This quantity is calculated using the 

aggregate square meter equivalents of all 

apparel articles imported into the 

United States, derived from the set of 

Harmonized System lines listed in the 

Annex to the World Trade Organization 

Agreement on Textiles and Clothing 

(ATC), and the conversion factors for 

units of measure into square meter 

equivalents used by the United States in 

implementing the ATC.
