DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE ASSESSMENT OF THE U.S. FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY
SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE), is conducting a survey and assessment of the health and
competitiveness of the U.S. textile, apparel, and footwear industry. The assessment, requested by the U.S. Congress, updates a similar BIS/OTE assessment conducted for
Congress in 2003. This survey will cover topics including employment, production, competitors and customers, supply chain, financial information, research & development,
effectiveness of the Berry Amendment, and future industrial challenges. The resulting aggregate data and subsequent analysis will allow industry representatives and government
policy officials to monitor trends, benchmark industry performance, and raise awareness of potential issues of concern.
RESPONSE TO THIS SURVEY IS REQUIRED BY LAW
A response to this survey is required by law (50 U.S.C. App. Sec. 2155). Failure to respond can result in a maximum fine of $10,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both.
Information furnished herewith is deemed confidential and will not be published or disclosed except in accordance with Section 705 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as
amended (50 U.S.C App. Sec. 2155). Section 705 prohibits the publication or disclosure of this information unless the President determines that its withholding is contrary to the
national defense. Information will not be shared with any non-government entity, other than in aggregate form. The information will be protected pursuant to the appropriate
exemptions from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), should it be the subject of a FOIA request.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject
to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
BURDEN ESTIMATE AND REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 12 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information to BIS Information Collection Officer, Room 6883, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230, and to the
Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (OMB Control No. 0694-0119), Washington, D.C. 20503.

The Berry Amendment (USC, Title 10, Section 2533a), requires the Department of Defense to buy textile, clothing
and footwear products made with 100% U.S. fibers, yarns, and fabrics that are cut, sewn, and assembled in the
United States. It also applies to DOD procurement of food, hand tools and measuring tools. The Berry
Amendment ensures that critical U.S. military needs are not dependent on goods provided by foreign countries —
thus mitigating a potentially serious national security issue.
