**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 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 follows:
