Burlington Industries, Inc., Knitted Fabrics Division, North
Carolina and New York; Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening
On March 10, 1997, the Department, on its own motion, reopened its
investigation for the former workers of the subject firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination
issued on August 27, 1996, because the ``contributed importantly'' test
of the Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met for
workers at the subject firm. The workers produced knitted fabric. The
denial notice was published in the Federal Register on September 25,
1996 (61 FR 50332).
A late response to the customer survey conducted by the Department
revealed that a customer of the subject firm increased import purchases
of knitted fabric during the time period relevant to the investigation.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening,
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly
competitive with knitted fabric produced by the subject firm
contributed importantly to the decline in sales and to the total or
partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In accordance with
the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the following revised
determination:
``All workers of Burlington Industries Inc., Knitted Fabrics
Division, Greensboro, North Carolina (TA-W-32,588), Wake Forest,
North Carolina (TA-W-32,588A), Denton, North Carolina (TA-W-
32,588B), Rocky Mount, North Carolina (TA-W-32,588C), Cramerton,
North Carolina (TA-W-32,588D) and New York, New York (TA-W-32,588E)
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 19, 1995, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed in Washington, DC, this 12th day of March 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
