SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Community Development Quota
(CDQ) Program is an economic
development program implemented
under the Magnuson Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the
Fishery Management Plan for the
Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands, and regulations at
50 CFR part 679. The purpose of the
program is to provide western Alaska
communities the opportunity to
participate and invest in Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area
fisheries, to support economic
development in western Alaska, to
alleviate poverty and provide economic
and social benefits for residents of
western Alaska, and to achieve
sustainable and diversified local
economies in western Alaska.
CDQ and prohibited species quota
(PSQ) allocations are made to CDQ
groups. However, in many cases the
CDQ groups contract with existing
fishing vessels and processors to harvest
CDQ on their behalf. The CDQ group is
responsible to monitor the catch of CDQ

Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration, U.S. and Foreign
Commercial Service is organizing a
´
Trade Mission to Bogota and Cartagena,
Colombia and Panama City, Panama,
November 15–18, 2010, to be led by a
senior Commerce official. The mission
will focus on helping U.S. companies
launch or increase their export business
in these promising markets. It will also
help participating firms gain market
information, make business and
industry contacts, and solidify business
strategies, towards the goal of increasing
U.S. exports to the two markets. The
mission will include business-tobusiness matchmaking appointments
with local companies, as well as market
briefings and networking events. The
mission will be comprised of U.S. firms
representing a cross section of U.S.
industries with growing potential in the
target markets, including, but not
limited to the following sectors:
Building products; computers;
components and peripherals;
construction equipment; electrical
power systems; security and safety
equipment; telecommunications
equipment; and travel and tourism
services.
Commercial Setting
Colombia
Colombia ranks solidly with the group
of progressive, industrializing countries
worldwide that have diversified
agriculture, resources, and productive
capacities. Despite the global economic
crisis, Colombia’s economic prospects
are positive. Currently, it is the fifth
largest market for U.S. exports in the
region, after Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela,
and Chile, and is ranked 26th as a
market for U.S. exports globally. Since
the election of President Alvaro Uribe in
May 2002 (and subsequent re-election in
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
5761
2006), Colombia has become one of the
most stable economies in the region.
Improved security, sound government
policies, steady economic growth,
moderate inflation and a wide range of
opportunities make it worthwhile for
U.S. exporters to take a serious look at
Colombia.
Infrastructure development has fueled
the growth of U.S. exports to Colombia,
including opportunities generated by
highway, hotel and housing
´
construction in Bogota and coastal cities
such as Cartagena, San Andres, and
Santa Marta. Developing the oil and gas
industry and sea and river ports are also
key priorities for the Uribe
administration. An expanding list of
emerging best prospects sectors includes
computers and components, safety and
security, and tourism, among others.
Colombia’s increasingly democratic
and transparent government and its
traditional acceptance of U.S. and
international standards, and U.S. brands
provide a solid foundation for U.S. firms
seeking to do business there. The U.S.Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement
(TPA), signed in November 2006 and
pending Congressional approval, would
offer tremendous benefits to U.S.
exporters. Upon entry into force,
(following Colombia’s steps to ensure
implementation of its obligations), the
TPA would provide immediate dutyfree entry for 80 percent of U.S.
consumer and industrial exports to
Colombia, with remaining tariffs phased
out over the next 10 years. The TPA
would also open the market for
remanufactured goods and provide
greater protection for intellectual
property rights (IPR).
´
Bogota, the capital of Colombia,
generates approximately 30 percent of
the country’s total gross domestic
´
product (GDP). Bogota offers diverse
business opportunities in almost all
economic sectors. Cartagena is the fifth
largest city in Colombia concentrating
business opportunities in ports, tourism,
oil refinery and industries such as
chemical plants, cement and beverages.
Panama
Panama has historically served as the
crossroads of trade for the Americas. Its
strategic location, bridging two oceans
and two continents, has made Panama
not only a maritime and air transport
hub, but also an international trading,
banking, and services center. Trade
liberalization and privatization over the
last several years, along with the
hemispheric movement toward free
trade agreements (the U.S.-Panama FTA
is also pending), stand to increase
Panama’s regional and global
prominence. Panama’s dollar-based
