Committee on Government  Procurement Original:  English
PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO APPENDIX I OF JAPAN
Notifications from Japan under Article XXIV: 6(a)
The following notification from the Permanent Mission of Japan was received on
4 March 2002, with the request that it be circulated to the Parties of the Agreement on GovernmentProcurement.
_______________
Pursuant to Article XXIV, paragraph 6(a) of the WTO Agreement on Government
Procurement, the Government of Japan wishes to notify the Committee on Government Procurement
of the following rectification of a purely formal na ture with regard to Annex 3 of Appendix I of the
Agreement:
-  add "- Labor Management Organization for USFJ
1 Employees" after  “- National Institute
for Environmental Studies” in Group B in the “List  of Entities”; and
-  add "- Labor Management Organization for USFJ Employees " after
“- National Institute for Environmental Studies” in Group B in the “List of Entities which procure the
services, specified in Annex 4”.
The above rectification is the result of the following organizational change relating to a
central government entity in Annex 1.  It does not alter the level of the mutually agreed coverage
provided in the Agreement.
1. In the process of Japan's central government reform (cf. GPA/W/129 and GPA/W/137), part
of the undertakings which have been operated by internal sub-divisions of the Defense Facilities
Administrative Agency (an indepe ndent organization of the Defense Agency in Annex 1) are to be
conducted by the Labor Management Organization for USFJ Employees. Under the Law Concerning
the Labor Management Organization for USFJ Employees (Law No. 217 of 12 December 1999) and
the relevant ordinances, this organizational change shall be implemented as of 1 April 2002. TheLabor Management Organization for USFJ Employees shall be established as an Independent
Administrative Institution (IAI), legally independent from the government, to perform transferred
undertakings efficiently and effectively. (The outline of this entity is attached hereto.)

2. Since this new organization does not fall under the central government entities covered by the
Accounts Law and is not provided for in the National Government Organization Law and the Law
establishing the Cabinet Office, Japan has decided to add this entity to Annex 3 regarding both
supplies and services (under Group B in the "List of Entities" and the "List of Entities which procure
the services, specified in Annex 4" of Annex 3). In this way, the Agreement can apply to it with thesame thresholds and conditions as stipulated in Annex 1 for central government entities. In light of the
work assigned to it, this entity is unlikely to procure munitions. Hence, Japan has decided not to apply
the same limitation as that provided in Note 4 to Annex 1.
3. This entity will have its accounting rules to implement the relevant thresholds and procedures
under the Agreement. These accounting rules will apply as of 1 April 2002. The challenge procedures,
as provided for in Article XX in the Agreement, will apply to the procurement conducted by this
entity, which will fall under the control of the Cabinet Office.
4. The above-mentioned rectification is consistent with the relevant rectification notified by
Japan (GPA/W/129, dated 19 March 2001), which became effective on 5 September 2001
(WT/Let/400).

which are to be established in July 2002 and April 2003 respectively.GPA/W/186
