SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12260 requires the U.S.
Trade Representative to set the U.S. dollar thresholds for application
of Title III of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, as amended (19 U.S.C.
2511 et seq.). These obligations apply to covered procurements valued
at or above specified U.S. dollar thresholds. Due to a lapse in
appropriations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has delayed the
release of certain data required to calculate the thresholds for the
following agreements: (1) The United States-Australia Free Trade
Agreement; (2) The United States-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement; (3) The
United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement; (4) The United States-
Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement; (5) The Dominican Republic-Central
American-United States Free Trade Agreement; (6) The United States-
Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA); (7) The United States-Oman Free Trade
Agreement; and (8) The United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement.
The thresholds for these agreements will be updated via a subsequent
Federal Register notice following the release of the necessary BLS data
in January 2026. Until such
[[Page 189]]
time, the existing thresholds for these agreements shall remain in
place.
In conformity with the provisions of Executive Order 12260, and in
order to carry out U.S. trade agreement obligations, the U.S. Trade
Representative has determined the U.S. dollar procurement thresholds,
effective on January 1, 2026, for calendar years 2026 and 2027 are as
