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. On January 2, 2026, the U.S. Trade Representative published a notice in the *Federal Register* updating the thresholds for: (1) the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Government Procurement; (2) the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement; (3) the United States-Morocco Free Trade Agreement; (4) the United States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement; and (5) the United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement ( *See* Procurement Thresholds for Implementation of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, 94 FR 188 (January 2, 2026)). Due to a lapse in appropriations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 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.
