DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-32,318]
Jaunty Textile, a Division of Advanced Textile Composites,
Incorporated, Scranton, PA; Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On July 3, 1996, the Department issued a Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance,
applicable to all workers of Jaunty Textile, a Division of Advanced
Textile Composites, Incorporated located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 2, 1996 (61 FR
40453).
Investigation findings show that the workers produced woven
synthetic fabrics. The workers were denied TAA because the
``contributed importantly'' test of the Group Eligibility Requirements
of the Trade Act was not met.
By letter of August 2, 1996, a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the Department's findings. The
company provided new information regarding a major customer, reducing
purchases from Jaunty, that had been inadvertently excluded from their
list of customers. On reconsideration, the Department surveyed the
customer. New investigation findings on reconsideration show that the
customer began importing synthetic woven textiles in 1996.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on
reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers of Jaunty Textile, a
Division of Advanced Textile Composites, Incorporated, Scranton,
Pennsylvania were adversely affected by increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with synthetic woven textiles produced at
the subject firm.
``All workers of Jaunty Textile, a Division of Advanced Textile
Composites, Incorporated, Scranton, Pennsylvania, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after May 1, 1995, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 30th day of September 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
