will provide reciprocal retroactive duty treatment or a benefit for 
textile or apparel goods that is equivalent to retroactive duty 
treatment.
    Pursuant to Section 205(b) of the Act, I have determined that El 
Salvador will provide an equivalent benefit for textile or apparel 
goods of the United States within the meaning of Article 3.20 of the 
CAFTA-DR. I therefore determine that El Salvador is an eligible country 
for purposes of Section 205 of the Act.
