Where did DOL find information on goods made with forced labor and child labor?
• In compiling its initial List, DOL gathered and analyzed research from a variety of sources including a public request for information, a Public Hearing held at DOL on May 28, 2008 (transcript available at http://www.dol.gov/ilab/programs/ocft/pdf/20080423g.pdf), and additional, extensive research by staff and contractors. For each good that appears on the List, DOL has made available a list of the sources (articles, reports, publications, communications, etc.) that were relied upon in reaching the determination. These bibliographies can be found in the TVPRA report, available at http://www.dol.gov/ILAB/programs/ocft/tvpra.htm.
