[Pub. L. 112-42] implements the commercial availability provision 
provided for in Article 3.3 of the United States-Colombia Trade 
Promotion Agreement (the ``Agreement''). The Agreement entered into 
force on May 15, 2012. Subject to the rules of origin in Annex 4.1 of 
the Agreement, and pursuant to the textile provisions of the Agreement, 
a fabric, yarn, or fiber produced in Colombia or the United States and 
traded between the two countries is entitled to duty-free tariff 
treatment. Annex 3-B of the Agreement also lists specific fabrics,

commercial quantities in a timely manner from producers in Colombia or 
the United States. The fabrics listed are commercially unavailable 
fabrics, yarns, and fibers, which are also entitled to duty-free 
treatment despite not being produced in Colombia or the United States.
    The list of commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers may 
be changed pursuant to the commercial availability provision in Chapter 
3, Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5-7 of the Agreement. Under this provision,
