D uties RESPECT TO

CUBAN PROD UCTS E N T IT LE D TO T O T AL OR
PARTIAL E X E M P T IO N FROM D U T Y

As it is evident that many Cuban prod ucts are readily identifiable as to their origin by reason of the character of the merchandise, and as the documentary requirements now applicable to all en tries covering shipments of merchandise claimed to be Cuban products entitled to total or partial exemptions from duty work an unnecessary hardship on both the Customs Service and the importer in the case of some small shipments of such merchandise, 16.23 b o f the Customs Regulations is amended by add ing except as stated in the next sen tence, after agreement, in the last sentence and by adding at the end the following new sentence: Production of the declaration may be waived in con nection with direct shipments claimed to be of Cuban origin, valued not over $250, in those cases where the collector is satisfied from the character of the articles or otherwise that they are in fact of Cuban origin.

TITLE 29 LABOR
Chapter V Wage and Hour Division, Department of Labor Regulation of H omework in P articular I ndustries i n C ontinental U nited States
Pursuant to sections 8 and 11 o f the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended 52 Stat. 1064,1066; 29 U. S. C.
208, 211, the Administrator has hereto
fore issued regulations pertaining to the employment of homeworkers in the Womens Apparel Industry Part 605, the Jewelry Manufacturing Industry Part 607, the Knitted Outerwear In
dustry Part 617, the Gloves and M it tens Industry Part 621, the Button and Buckle Manufacturing Industry Part 625, the Handkerchief Industry Part 628, and the Embroideries Industry P a r t633.
These regulations have been re-exam ined and it has been determined that they are in need of editorial revision because some sections are obsolete and others are in need o f clarification.
In Tobin v. Edward S. Wagner Co., Inc., 187 F. 2d 977, the court recognized the administrative authority to regulate homework but questioned the scope of the existing regulations applicable to homeworkers in the Knitted Outerwear Industry 29 CFR Part 617 on the ground that the language defining in dustrial homework was not sufficiently clear in the absence of published rul ings giving notice that the administra tive construction of the pertinent language was such as to make it appli cable to situations where the homework ers obtain their material from a source independent of the person for whom the goods are being produced. The home work regulations for the Knitted Outer wear Industry were clarified in this re spect by an amendment to Part 617 16
P. R. 3434, April 20, 1951. For reasons stated therein that amendment was pub lished and made effective without ad vance notice and public procedure.
Although challenged, the propriety of this procedure was upheld by the Court of Appeals. Mitchell v. Edward S. W ag ner Company, Inc., 217 F. 2d 303, certiorari denied, 23 Law Week 3221.
Similar clarification is needed with re spect to the homework regulations for the Womens Apparel Industry, the Jewelry Manufacturing Industry, the Gloves and Mittens Industry, the Button and Buckle Manufacturing Industry, the Handkerchief Manufacturing Industry, and the Embroideries Industry.
For these reasons and because these amendments undertake only to make the regulations applicable to current condi tions by deleting obsolete sections and to clarify and interpret, not to change, the C o n t i n u e d o n n e x t p a g e
