                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                             July 10, 2009

  Mr. Wyden (for himself, Mr. Crapo, Ms. Cantwell, Mr. Enzi, and Mr. 
   Schumer) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and 
                  referred to the Committee on Finance

_______________________________________________________________________

                                 A BILL


 
To provide for duty-free treatment of certain recreational performance 
                   outerwear, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 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''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The outdoor industry contributes $730,000,000,000 to 
        the United States economy annually.
            (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 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 and therefore concluded that there is no commercially 
        viable production of recreational performance apparel in the 
        United States.
            (6) On November 1, 2005, the Committee for the 
        Implementation of Textile Agreements confirmed in the Federal 
        Register that imports of certain recreational performance 
        apparel do not contribute to domestic market disruption or 
        adversely affect United States textile and apparel producers 
        (70 Fed. Reg. 65889).
            (7) 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.

SEC. 3. KNIT APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES.

    (a) Definitions.--The Additional U.S. Note to Chapter 61 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States is amended--
            (1) in the heading, by striking ``Additional U.S. Note'' 
        and inserting ``Additional U.S. Notes''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new notes:
    ``2. (a) For purposes of this chapter, the term `recreational 
performance outerwear' means trousers (including, but not limited to, 
paddling pants, ski or snowboard pants, and ski or snowboard pants 
intended for sale as parts of ski-suits), coveralls and bib overalls, 
and jackets (including, but not limited to, full zip jackets, paddling 
jackets, ski jackets, and ski jackets intended for sale as parts of

            ``(iv) Venting, not including grommet(s).
            ``(v) Articulated elbows or knees.
            ``(vi) Reinforcement in one of the following areas: the 
        elbows, shoulders, seat, knees, or ankles or cuffs.
            ``(vii) Weatherproof closure at the waist or front.
            ``(viii) Multi-adjustable hood or adjustable collar.
            ``(ix) Adjustable powder skirt, inner protective skirt, or 
        adjustable inner protective cuff at sleeve hem.
            ``(x) Construction at the arm gusset that utilizes fabric, 
        design, or patterning to allow radial arm movement.
            ``(xi) Odor control technology.
The term `recreational performance outerwear' does not include 
occupational outerwear or garments with an outer surface predominantly 
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 
        7017) 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 `visibly coated' refers to fabric that is 
        impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics, such 
        as fabrics 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, 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, 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 
        predominant or 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 a draw cord, adjustment tab, or elastic incorporated into 
        the hood or collar construction to allow volume adjustments 
        around a helmet, 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 an 
        additive in a fabric or garment capable of adsorbing, 
        absorbing, or reacting with human odors, or effective in 
        reducing odor-causing bacteria, including but not limited to 
        activated carbon, silver, copper, or any combination thereof.
            ``(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 
specify upon entry whether garments claimed as recreational performance 
outerwear have an outer surface that is water-resistant, visibly 
coated, or a combination thereof, and shall further enumerate the 
specific features that make the garments eligible to be classified as 
recreational performance outerwear.''.

        (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 a draw cord, adjustment tab, or elastic incorporated into

        additive in a fabric or garment capable of adsorbing, 
        absorbing, or reacting with human odors, or effective in 
        reducing odor-causing bacteria, including but not limited to 
        activated carbon, silver, copper, or any combination thereof.
            ``(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.
    ``4. For purposes of this chapter, the importer of record shall 
specify upon entry whether garments claimed as `recreational 
performance outerwear' have an outer surface that is water-resistant, 
visibly coated, or a combination thereof, and shall further enumerate 
the specific features that make the garments eligible to be classified 
as recreational performance outerwear.''.
