Matthew Levin, Director, OTLA, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution

Washington, DC 20210. Telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article
17.5 of the Labor Chapter of the CTPA
establishes that each Party’s contact
point shall provide for the submission,
receipt, and consideration of
communications (‘‘submissions’’) on
matters related to the Labor Chapter and
each Party shall review those
submissions in accordance with
domestic procedures. A Federal
Register notice issued on December 21,
2006, informed the public that OTLA
had been designated as the office to
serve as the contact point for
implementing the labor provisions of
United States free trade agreements. The
same Federal Register notice informed
the public of the Procedural Guidelines
that OTLA would follow for the receipt
and review of public submissions (71
FR 76691, December 21, 2006). These
Procedural Guidelines are available at
https://www.dol.gov/ilab/media/pdf/
2006021837.pdf. According to the
definitions contained in the Procedural
Guidelines (Section B) a ‘‘submission’’
is ‘‘a communication from the public
containing specific allegations,
accompanied by relevant supporting
information, that another Party has
failed to meet its commitments or
obligations arising under a labor
chapter’’ of a U.S. free trade agreement.
The Procedural Guidelines specify
that OTLA shall consider six factors, to
the extent that they are relevant, in
determining whether to accept a
submission for review:
1. Whether the submission raises
issues relevant to any matter arising
under a labor chapter;
2. Whether a review would further the
objectives of a labor chapter;
3. Whether the submission clearly
identifies the person filing the
submission, is signed and dated, and is
sufficiently specific to determine the
nature of the request and permit an
appropriate review;
4. Whether the statements contained
in the submission, if substantiated,
would constitute a failure of the other
Party to comply with its obligations or
commitments under a labor chapter;
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
5. Whether the statements contained
in the submission or available
information demonstrate that
appropriate relief has been sought under
the domestic laws of the other Party, or
that the matter or a related matter is
pending before an international body;
and
6. Whether the submission is
substantially similar to a recent
submission and significant, new
information has been furnished that
would substantially differentiate the
submission from the one previously
filed.
U.S. Submission #2016–02 alleges
that the GOC has failed to effectively
enforce its labor laws through a
sustained or recurring course of inaction
or action in a manner that affects trade
or investment; waived or otherwise
derogated from its statutes or
regulations in a manner affecting trade
or investment; failed to adopt and
maintain in its statutes and regulations,
and practices thereunder, the rights as
stated in the ILO Declaration; failed to
ensure the proceedings in its
administrative, judicial, or labor
tribunals are transparent and do not
entail unwarranted delays; and failed to
ensure that final decisions from its
administrative, judicial, or labor
tribunals are made available without
undue delay. The submission cites two
specific cases to support its allegations.
In determining whether to accept the
submission, OTLA considered the
statements in the submission in light of
the relevant factors identified in the
Procedural Guidelines. The submission
raises issues relevant to the Labor
Chapter of the CTPA because it alleges
that GOC failed to effectively enforce its
labor laws through a sustained or
recurring course of inaction or action in
a manner that affects trade or
investment; waived or otherwise
derogated from its statutes or
regulations in a manner affecting trade
or investment; failed to adopt and
maintain in its statutes and regulations,
and practices thereunder, the rights as
stated in the ILO Declaration; failed to
ensure the proceedings in its
administrative, judicial, or labor
tribunals are transparent and do not
entail unwarranted delays; and failed to
ensure that final decisions from its
administrative, judicial, or labor
tribunals are made available without
undue delay. It also clearly identifies
the submitter and is sufficiently specific
to determine the nature of the request
and permit an appropriate review. The
submission raises pertinent issues that
could further the objectives of the Labor
Chapter and that could, if substantiated,
constitute a failure of the GOC to

comply with its obligations under the
Labor Chapter. The submitters provided
information on specific cases of alleged
labor violations and included citations
to Colombian law and other relevant
legal instruments that they believe were
violated by the allegations in the
submission. The submitters provided
information on efforts to seek
appropriate relief for these alleged
violations under domestic laws and to
raise the issues with GOC officials and
with the ILO. The submission also notes
that the issues raised in the submission
have not been remedied to date. OTLA
has not received similar submissions
related to the CTPA obligations of the
GOC. Accordingly, OTLA has accepted
the submission for review.
OTLA’s decision to accept the
submission for review does not indicate
any determination as to the validity or
accuracy of the allegations contained in
the submission. The objective of the
review will be to gather information so
that OTLA can better understand the
allegations contained in the submission
and to publicly report on the issues
raised therein. As set out in the
Procedural Guidelines, OTLA will
complete the review and issue a public
report to the Secretary of Labor within
180 days of acceptance, unless
circumstances, as determined by OTLA,
require an extension of time. The public
report will include a summary of the
review process, as well as any findings
and recommendations.
Signed at Washington, DC, on July 12,
2016.

Deputy Undersecretary for International
Affairs.
