Threshold Adjustment Formula. 1. Any threshold denominated in U.S. Dollars shall be made in accordance with the following:
Threshold Adjustment Formula. The thresholds in Sections 1 to 3 shall be adjusted at two-year intervals with each adjustment taking effect on January 1, beginning January 1, 2010. The thresholds shall be adjusted:
Threshold Adjustment Formula. 1. With regard to the thresholds referred to in Annex 15-A (goods and services) and Annex 15-B (for List A goods and services only), the United States shall calculate:
Threshold Adjustment Formula. 1. In calculating the value of a contract for the purpose of ascertaining whether the procurement is covered by this Chapter, an entity shall include the maximum total estimated value of the procurement over its entire duration, taking into account all options, premiums, fees, commissions, interest and other revenue streams or other forms of renumeration provided for in such contracts. 2. The calculations referred to in Annex 9.1, Sections (A) through (C) that specifically referenced this paragraph shall be made in accordance with the following: (a) the U.S. inflation rate shall be measured by the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; (b) the first adjustment for inflation, to take effect on January 1, 2004, shall be calculated using the period from November 1, 2001 through October 31, 2003; (c) all subsequent adjustments shall be calculated using two-year periods, each period beginning November 1, and shall take effect on January 1 of the year immediately following the end of the two-year period; (d) the United States shall notify Chile of the adjusted threshold values no later than November 16 of the year before the adjustment takes effect; (e) the inflationary adjustment shall be estimated according to the following formula: 1. In calculating the value of a contract for the purpose of ascertaining whether a procurement is covered by this Chapter, a procuring entity shall include the maximum total estimated value of the procurement over its entire duration, taking into account all options, premiums, fees, commissions, interest, and other revenue streams, or other forms of remuneration provided for in such contracts. 2. The thresholds in Sections A through C shall be adjusted at two-year intervals with each adjustment taking effect on January 1, beginning on January 1, 2006. 3. With regard to the thresholds for goods and services in Section A, the United States shall calculate the U.S. dollar value for the threshold every two years, based on the U.S. inflation rate measured by the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, using the two-year period that ends on October 31 in the year prior to the adjustment taking effect, and using the following formula: T0 x (1+ Πi) = T1 T0 = threshold value at base period Πi = accumulated U.S. inflation rate for the ith two year-period T1 = new threshold value. T0 x (1+ ΠI) = T1 T0 = threshold value at base period Πi = acc...
