This report replaces BP's weekly comprehensive TPL/TRQ status report which was limited to textiles and apparel.
(Selected textile and apparel TPLs in this new report will initially be those that were more than 40% filled at the end of 2009, and will be expanded to other TPLs if their activity is significant. Data on the other commodities mirrors CBP's Threshold to Fill List. Estimated close dates for textiles and apparel will be added to this report soon.)
