SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the three meetings,

Annex on Forest Sector Governance (Annex 18.3.4); and the United
States-Peru Environmental Cooperation Agreement (ECA).
All interested persons are invited to attend the public session and
to submit written comments or to ask questions regarding implementation
of Chapter 18, Annex 18.3.4, and the ECA, and to raise any issues that
should be discussed at the meetings consistent with their respective
purposes.
In preparing comments, submitters are encouraged to refer to
Chapter 18 of the PTPA, including Annex 18.3.4, and the ECA (available
at <a href="https://www.state.gov/key-topics-office-of-environmental-quality-and-transboundary-issues/current-trade-agreements-with-environmental-chapters/#peru">https://www.state.gov/key-topics-office-of-environmental-quality-and-transboundary-issues/current-trade-agreements-with-environmental-chapters/#peru</a>). Instructions on how to submit comments are under the
heading ``ADDRESSES AND CONFIRMATIONS OF ATTENDANCE.''
The PTPA entered into force on February 1, 2009. Article 18.6 of
the PTPA establishes an Environmental Affairs Council, which is
required to meet once a year unless otherwise agreed by the Parties to
discuss the implementation of Chapter 18. Annex 18.3.4 to the PTPA
establishes a Sub-Committee on Forest Sector Governance. The Sub-
Committee is a specific forum for the Parties to share views and
information on any matter arising under the PTPA Annex on Forest Sector
Governance. The ECA entered into force on August 23, 2009. Article III
of the ECA establishes an Environmental Cooperation Commission and
makes the Commission responsible for developing a Work Program. Article
18.6 of the PTPA and Article VI of the ECA provide that meetings of the
Council and Commission respectively include a public session, unless
the Parties otherwise agree. At its first meeting, the Sub-Committee on
Forest Sector Governance committed to hold a public session after each
Sub-Committee meeting.
