Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection. Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses and other for-profit entities. Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 27,489,476 hours. Estimated Annual Labor Costs: $217,189,935.52. Abstract: The Care Labeling Rule requires manufacturers and importers of textile wearing apparel and certain piece goods to attach labels to their products disclosing the care needed for the ordinary use of the product. The Rule also requires manufacturers or importers to possess a reasonable basis for care instructions and allows the use of approved care symbols in lieu of words to disclose those instructions.

Burden statement: Staff estimates that approximately 10,744 manufacturers or importers of textile apparel, producing about 18.4 billion textile garments annually, are subject to the Rule’s disclosure requirements. Staff estimates the burden of determining care instructions to be 100 hours each year per firm, for a cumulative total of 1,074,400 hours. Staff further estimates that the burden of drafting and providing labels is 80 hours each year per firm, for a total of 859,520 hours. Staff believes that the process of attaching labels is fully automated and integrated into other production steps for about 50 percent (approximately 9.2 billion) of the approximately 18.4 billion garments that are required to have care instructions on permanent labels. For the remaining 9.2 billion items, the process is semi-automated and requires an average of approximately ten seconds per item, for a total of 25,555,556 hours per year. Thus, the total estimated annual burden for all firms is 27,489,476 hours. The chart below summarizes the total estimated costs.

The final FAR rule was published in the Federal Register at 89 FR 22604, on April 1, 2024. Relocation of existing requirements and placement of new requirements into FAR part 40 will be done through separate rulemakings. Currently, the policies and procedures for prohibitions, exclusions, supply chain risk information sharing, and safeguarding information that address security objectives are dispersed across multiple parts of the FAR, which makes it difficult for the acquisition workforce and the general public to understand and implement applicable requirements. FAR part 40 will provide the acquisition team with a single, consolidated location in the FAR that addresses their role in implementing requirements related to managing information security and supply chain security when acquiring products and services. The new FAR part 40 provides a location to cover broad security requirements that apply across acquisitions. These security requirements include requirements designed to bolster national security through the management of existing or potential adversary-based supply chain risks across technological, intent-based, or economic means (e.g., cybersecurity E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM 10APN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel and 
Certain Piece Goods As Amended, 16 CFR part 423.
    OMB Control Number: 3084-0103.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses and other for-profit 
entities.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 27,489,476 hours.
    Estimated Annual Labor Costs: $217,189,935.52.
    Abstract:
    The Care Labeling Rule requires manufacturers and importers of 
textile wearing apparel and certain piece goods to attach labels to 
their products disclosing the care needed for the ordinary use of the 
product. The Rule also requires manufacturers or importers to possess a 
reasonable basis for care instructions and allows the use of approved 
care symbols in lieu of words to disclose those instructions.
    As required by section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A), the FTC is providing this opportunity for public comment 
before requesting that OMB extend the existing clearance for the 
information collection requirements contained in the Rule.
    Burden statement:
    Staff estimates that approximately 10,744 manufacturers or 
importers of textile apparel, producing about 18.4 billion textile 
garments annually, are subject to the Rule's disclosure requirements. 
Staff estimates the burden of determining care instructions to be 100 
hours each year per firm, for a cumulative total of 1,074,400 hours. 
Staff further estimates that the burden of drafting and providing 
labels is 80 hours each year per firm, for a total of 859,520 hours. 
Staff believes that the process of attaching labels is fully automated 
and integrated into other production steps for about 50 percent 
(approximately 9.2 billion) of the approximately 18.4 billion garments 
that are required to have care instructions on permanent labels. For 
the remaining 9.2 billion items, the process is semi-automated and 
requires an average of approximately ten seconds per item, for a total 
of 25,555,556 hours per year. Thus, the total estimated annual burden 
for all firms is 27,489,476 hours.
    The chart below summarizes the total estimated costs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff believes that there are no current start-up costs or other 
capital costs associated with the Care Labeling Rule. Because the 
labeling of textile products has been an integral part of the 
manufacturing process for decades, manufacturers have in place the 
capital equipment necessary to comply with the Rule's labeling 
requirements. Based on knowledge of the industry, staff believes that 
much of the information required by the Rule would be included on the 
product label even absent those requirements.

Support Supervisors is based on data through May 2022 from the

    \2\ The wage rate for Information and Record Clerks is based on 
recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational 
Employment Statistics Survey at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ocwage.htm.

the country where the products are manufactured. According to 
information compiled by an industry trade association using data 
from the U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade 
Administration, and the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 97.1% of 
apparel used in the United States is imported. With the remaining 
2.9% attributable to U.S. production at an approximate domestic 
hourly wage of $14.73 to attach labels, staff has calculated a 
weighted average hourly wage of $6.52 per hour attributable to U.S. 
and foreign labor combined.
