I 113th CONGRESS 2d Session H.

1.

Short title

This Act may be cited as the United States Optimal Use of Trade to Develop Outerwear and Outdoor Recreation Act or the U.S. OUTDOOR Act.

2.

Findings

Congress finds the following: (1)The outdoor industry generates $646,000,000,000 in consumer spending annually and directly supports 6,000,000 jobs. (2)Outdoor activities are vitally important to the health and well-being of the people of the United States. (3)Duty rates on recreational performance apparel are among the highest duty rates imposed by the United States Government, with duties on some recreational performance apparel as high as 28.2 percent. (4)The duties currently imposed by the United States on recreational performance apparel were set in an era during which high rates of duty were intended to protect the production of other apparel in the United States, and before the technologies and innovations that create today's recreational performance apparel industry were developed. (5)In July 2007, the United States International Trade Commission confirmed, in USITC Publication 3937, that recreational performance apparel produced in the United States makes up less than 1 percent of the total recreational performance apparel market. (6)The elimination of duties on the importation of certain recreational performance apparel would provide an economic benefit to United States consumers of outdoor products and would promote increased participation in healthy and active lifestyles.

(ii)Pockets, at least one of which has a zippered, hook and loop, or other type of closure. (iii)Elastic, drawcord, or other means of tightening around the waist or leg hems, including hidden leg sleeves with a means of tightening at the ankle for trousers and tightening around the waist or bottom hem for jackets. (iv)Venting, not including grommet(s). (v)Articulated elbows or knees. (vi)Reinforcement in one of the following areas: the elbows, shoulders, seat, knees, ankles, or cuffs.

(xi)Odor control technology.The term recreational performance outerwear does not include occupational outerwear or garments with an outer surface of looped pile.(b)For purposes of this Note, the following terms have the following meanings: (i)The term water-resistant means that a garment must have a water resistance (see ASTM designations D 3779–81 and D 3781–79) such that, under a head pressure of 600 millimeters, not more than 1.0 gram of water penetrates after two minutes when tested in accordance with the current version of AATCC Test Method 35. The water resistance of the garment is the result of a rubber or plastics application to the outer shell, lining, or inner lining. (ii)The term treated with plastics refers to textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics, as described in Note 2 to chapter 59. (iii)The term sealed seams means seams that have been covered by means of taping, gluing, bonding, cementing, fusing, welding, or a similar process so that water cannot pass through the seams when tested in accordance with the current version of AATCC Test Method 35. (iv)The term critically sealed seams means— (A)for jackets, windbreakers, and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets), sealed seams that are sealed at the front and back yokes, or at the shoulders, arm holes, or both, where applicable; and (B)for trousers, overalls and bib overalls and similar articles, sealed seams that are sealed at the front (up to the zipper or other means of closure) and back rise. (v)The term insulation for cold weather protection means insulation with either synthetic fill, down, a laminated thermal backing, or other lining for thermal protection from cold weather. (vi)The term venting refers to closeable or permanent constructed openings in a garment (excluding front, primary zipper closures and grommet(s)) to allow increased expulsion of built-up heat during outdoor activities. In a jacket, such openings are often positioned on the underarm seam of a garment but may also be placed along other seams in the front or back of a garment. In trousers, such openings are often positioned on the inner or outer leg seams of a garment but may also be placed along other seams in the front or back of a garment. (vii)The term articulated elbows or knees refers to the construction of a sleeve (or pant leg) to allow improved mobility at the elbow (or knee) through the use of extra seams, darts, gussets, or other means. (viii)The term reinforcement refers to the use of a double layer of fabric or section(s) of fabric that is abrasion-resistant or otherwise more durable than the face fabric of the garment. (ix)The term weatherproof closure means a closure (including, but not limited to, laminated or coated zippers, storm flaps, or other weatherproof construction) that has been reinforced or engineered in a manner to reduce the penetration or absorption of moisture or air through an opening in the garment. (x)The term multi-adjustable hood or adjustable collar means, in the case of a hood, a hood into which is incorporated two or more draw cords, adjustment tabs, or elastics, or, in the case of a collar, a collar into which is incorporated or at least one draw cord, adjustment tab, elastic, or similar component, to allow volume adjustments around a helmet, or the crown of the head, neck, or face. (xi)The terms adjustable powder skirt and inner protective skirt refer to a partial lower inner lining with means of tightening around the waist for additional protection from the elements. (xii)The term arm gusset means construction at the arm of a gusset that utilizes an extra fabric piece in the under arm usually diamond- or triangular-shaped, design, or pattern to allow radial arm movement. (xiii)The term radial arm movement refers to unrestricted, 180-degree range of motion for the arm while wearing performance outerwear. (xiv)The term odor control technology means the incorporation into a fabric or garment of materials, including, but not limited to, activated carbon, silver, copper, or any combination thereof, capable of adsorbing, absorbing, or reacting with human odors, or effective in reducing the growth of odor-causing bacteria. (xv)The term occupational outerwear means outerwear garments, including uniforms, designed or marketed for use in the workplace or at a worksite to provide durable protection from cold or inclement weather and/or workplace hazards, such as fire, electrical, abrasion, or chemical hazards, or impacts, cuts, punctures, or similar hazards. 3.For purposes of this chapter, the importer of record shall maintain internal import records that specify upon entry whether garments claimed as recreational performance outerwear have an outer surface that is water-resistant, treated with plastics, or a combination thereof, and shall further enumerate the specific features that make the garments eligible to be classified as recreational performance outerwear..
