Background 

Section 12315 transferred the Refund 

program to the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture in FY 2016, from Customs 

and Border Protection, Department of 

Homeland Security. The Refund 

program is one of several programs 

authorized by Congress within the 

Agriculture Wool Apparel 

Manufacturers Trust Fund for each of 

calendar years 2016 through 2019. The 

purpose of the Refund program is to 

compensate wool manufacturers of 

men’s and boy’s wool suits, suit type 

jackets, or trousers of imported worsted 

wool fabrics of the kind described in 

heading 9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12; 

manufacturers of worsted wool fabrics 

who import wool yarn of the kind 

described in heading 9902.51.13; and 

manufacturers of wool yarn or fabric 

who import wool fiber or top of the kind 

described in heading 9902.51.14 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States for customs duties paid on 

imported wool in 2000, 2001 and 2002. 

To claim a distribution from the Refund 

program manufacturers are directed to 

submit an affidavit that follows the 

statutory procedures specified under 

Section 12315(b) of the Act, and also as 

described on the FAS Web site at 

http://www.fas.usda.gov/programs/

wool-apparel-manufacturers-trust-fund. 

Because section 12315 is selfeffectuating, FAS will not be issuing 

regulations to implement the program 

this year. This notice announces the 

deadline and email address to which 

claims, affidavits and supporting 

documents must be sent. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

12315 of Act (Pub. L. 113–79) is set 

forth below in its entirety, followed by 

information about how to apply for a 

distribution from the Refund program.
