    The Department of Commerce, on behalf of the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA), plans to submit a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review an information collection for the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement. Public comments are invited for an additional 30 days to help minimize the reporting burden. This information collection relates to the commercial availability provision, which allows certain fabrics, yarns, and fibers not produced in Colombia or the United States to be eligible for duty-free treatment. The goal is to ensure wide participation, evaluate availability in a timely manner, and remain consistent with business practices.

    The Department of Commerce is asking people to share their thoughts about a plan that makes it easier for clothes made from special materials not available in the US or Colombia to be sold without extra taxes. They want to make sure it's fair and easy to join in, like making sure everyone gets a turn to play with a new toy.
