Needs and Uses: 

The United States and Peru negotiated 

the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion 

Agreement (‘‘the Agreement’’), which 

entered into force on February 1, 2009. 

Subject to the rules of origin in Annex 

4.1 of the Agreement, pursuant to the 

textile provisions of the Agreement, a 

fabric, yarn, or fiber produced in Peru 

or the United States and traded between 

the two countries is entitled to duty-free 

tariff treatment. Annex 3–B of the 

Agreement also lists specific fabrics, 

yarns, and fibers that the two countries 

agreed are not available in commercial 

quantities in a timely manner from 

producers in Peru or the United States. 

The items listed in Annex 3–B are 

commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, 

and fibers. Articles containing these 

items are entitled to duty-free or 

preferential treatment despite 

containing inputs not produced in Peru 

or the United States. 

The list of commercially unavailable 

fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be 

changed pursuant to the commercial 

availability provision in Chapter 3, 

Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the 

Agreement. Section 203(o) of the Act 

implements the commercial availability 

provision of the Agreement. Under this 

provision, interested entities from Peru 

or the United States have the right to 

request that a specific fabric, yarn, or 

fiber be added to, or removed from, the 

list of commercially unavailable fabrics, 

yarns, and fibers in Annex 3–B. 

Section 203(o) of the Act provides 

that the President may modify the list of 

fabrics, yarns, and fibers in Annex 3–B 

by determining whether additional 

fabrics, yarns, or fibers are not available 

in commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the United States or Peru, 

and that the President will issue 

procedures governing the submission of 

requests and providing an opportunity 

for interested entities to submit 

comments. The President delegated the 

responsibility for publishing the 

procedures and administering 

commercial availability requests to 

CITA, which issues procedures and acts 

on requests through the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Office of 

Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) (See 

Proclamation No. 8341, 74 FR 4105, Jan. 

22, 2009). Interim procedures to 

implement these responsibilities were 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 14, 2009. (See Interim 

Procedures for Considering Requests 

Under the Commercial Availability 

Provision of the United States-Peru 

Trade Promotion Agreement 

Implementation Act and Estimate of 

Burden for Collection of Information, 74 

FR 41111, Aug. 14, 2009) (‘‘Commercial 

Availability Procedures’’). 

The intent of the Commercial 

Availability Procedures is to foster the 

use of U.S. and regional products by 

implementing procedures that allow 

products to be placed on or removed 

from a product list, on a timely basis, 

and in a manner that is consistent with 

normal business practice. The 

procedures are intended to facilitate the 

transmission of requests; allow the 

market to indicate the availability of the 

supply of products that are the subject 

of requests; make available promptly, to 

interested entities and the public, 

information regarding the requests for 

products and offers received for those 

products; ensure wide participation by 

interested entities and parties; allow for 

careful review and consideration of 

information provided to substantiate 

requests and responses; and provide 

timely public dissemination of 

information used by CITA in making 

commercial availability determinations. 

CITA must collect certain information 

about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical 

specifications and the production 

capabilities of Peruvian and U.S. textile 

producers to determine whether certain 

fabrics, yarns, or fibers are available in 

commercial quantities in a timely 

manner in the United States or Peru, 

subject to Section 203(o) of the Act. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Frequency: Varies. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Section 203(o) of the 

U.S.-Peru TPA and Proclamation No. 

8341, 74 FR 4105 (Jan. 22, 2009).
