Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Free Trade Agreements.
OMB Number: 1651-0117.
Form Number: N/A.

Abstract: The U.S. negotiates and implements free trade agreements
(FTAs) and preferential trade legislations (PTLs), also known as
preference programs, to promote prosperity for the U.S. economy. FTAs
and PTLs open new markets for U.S. exports, protect American producers
and workers, and encourage free and equitable trade among our trading
partners. Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are established to reduce and
eliminate trade barriers, strengthen, and develop economic relations,
and lay the foundation for further cooperation to expand and enhance
benefits of the agreement between partner countries. These agreements
establish free trade by reduced-duty treatment of imported goods. FTAs
encourage international trade by making it easier and cheaper for
businesses to export and import products and services between partner
countries
The U.S. has entered into the following FTAs: United States-Chile
Free Trade Agreement (US-CFTA) (Pub. L. 108-77); the Republic of
Singapore (Pub. L. 108-78, 117 Stat. 948,19 U.S.C. 3805 note);

112-42, 125 Stat. 462); Panama (Pub. L. 112-43); and Costa Rica, the
Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua
(CAFTA-DR) (Pub. L. 109-53, 119 Stat. 462);); Japan (Presidential
Proclamation 9974, (Federal Register Notice (84 FR 72187)); Mexico and
Canada (USMCA) (Pub. L. 116-113 section 101-195) and Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2021 (Pub. L. No: 116-260) (December 27, 2020).
These FTAs involve collection of data elements such as information
about the importer and exporter of the goods, a description of the
goods, tariff classification number, country of origin and the
preference criterion in the Rules of Origin. Collection of data
elements for compliance with preferential claims made on importations
