In accordance with section 301(b)(3) of the Trade Agreements Act, Australia is designated for purposes of section 301(a) of the Trade Agreements Act. 2. With respect to eligible products of Australia (i.e., goods and services covered by the Schedules of the United States in Annex 15–A of the USAFTA) and suppliers of such products, the application of any law, procedure, or practice regarding government procurement that would, if applied to such products and suppliers, result in treatment less favorable than accorded— FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM 31JAN1
