§ 410.41 - Specialized definitions.

In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR part 401 and § 410.01 of this part the following definitions apply to this subpart:

(a) The term simple manufacturing operation shall mean all the following unit processes: Desizing, fiber preparation and dyeing.

(b) The term complex manufacturing operation shall mean “simple” unit processes (desizing, fiber preparation and dyeing) plus any additional manufacturing operations such as printing, water proofing, or applying stain resistance or other functional fabric finishes.
