Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden estimate comes from two sources. The first comes from updating our methodology to anchor the number of domestic children’s apparel manufactures to the proportion of children (15.8%) in the U.S. population. In 2019 we estimated domestic manufactures to be 981 (6,212 x 0.158) which may be more precise and more consistently updated than the 2015 estimated range of 550-1050 domestic manufactures. The second source comes from a reduction in the number of nightwear importers from 4,500 to 3,037 according to USITC data. The net result is a reduction of 45,960 hours (a reduction of 69 manufactures and a reduction of 1463 importers, multiplied by 30 response hours per firm).
