I. Background
Approximately every two years, the
trade agreements thresholds for the
World Trade Organization Government
Procurement Agreement (WTO GPA)
and the free trade agreements (FTAs) are
adjusted according to predetermined
formulae under the agreements. These

67579), the United States Trade
Representative (USTR) published new

thresholds because of the United StatesMexico-Canada Agreement
Implementation Act, which is being
implemented in FAR Case 2020–014,
United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement. FAR Case 2020–014 was
published as a proposed rule on
December 13, 2021.
The United States Trade
Representative has specified the
following new thresholds:
