    (a) It is the policy of the Consumer Product Safety Commission that 
all items of children's sleepwear in sizes 7 through 14 (including 
garments and fabric or related material intended or promoted for use in 
such children's sleepwear) are subject to the Standard FF 5-74 (subpart 
A of this part) unless the manufacturing process has ended before May 1, 
1975. The manufacturing process is deemed to end, for the purposes of 
the Standard, at the time the item is completely assembled, all 
functional materials have been affixed, and labeling of a permanent 
nature has been stamped, sewn, or otherwise permanently affixed to the 
item. Affixing of temporary price or promotional information or the 
packaging of items of sleepwear (including garments and fabrics or 
related material intended or promoted for use in such sleepwear) does 
not affect the date on which the manufacturing process is deemed to end.
    (b) All items of children's sleepwear in sizes 7 through 14 
(including garments and fabric or related material intended or promoted 
for use in such children's sleepwear) which are in inventory or with the 
trade on the effective date of Standard FF 5-74 are exempt from the 
requirements of the Standard. For domestically-made items of children's 
sleepwear in sizes 7 through 14 to be considered ``in inventory or with 
the trade'' on the effective date of the Standard, the manufacturing 
process must have ended prior to May 1, 1975. For foreign-made items of 
children's sleepwear in sizes 7 through 14 to be considered ``in 
inventory or with the trade'' on the effective date of the Standard, the 
manufacturing process must have ended and the goods must have been 
entered into the United States before May 1, 1975.
