Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended;
section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 U.S.C.

The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that, in
furtherance of the objectives of the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA)
of 1991, 19 U.S.C. Section 3201, et seq., the Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements has decided to establish a Special
Access Program for textile products assembled in ATPA, designated
countries from fabric formed and cut in the United States. The eligible
designated countries under the ATPA are currently Bolivia, Colombia,
Ecuador and Peru. However, agreements with eligible countries must be
concluded before the United States will apply the program to the
specific countries.
The first Special Access limits under this program will be
established for imports from Colombia of cotton and man-made fiber
underwear in Categories 352/652 and wool coats in Category 444. The
levels will be announced in the Federal Register at a later date. The
United States and Colombia will also establish a Special Access visa
and certification system.
