ACT II, Incorporated d/b/a John Roberts Biddeford, ME; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On March 9, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the former 
workers of the subject firm. The notice will soon be published in the 
Federal Register.
    Investigation findings show that the subject firm is a contractor 
which produces men's suits and sport coats and women's blazers and 
skirts. The fiscal year (FY) begins on June 1 and ends on May 31st. 
Sales and production declined in FY 92 compared to FY 91 and in the 
first four months of FY 93 compared to the same period in FY 92. 
Significant worker separations occurred in FY 93.
    U.S. aggregate imports of women's and girls' skirts and women's and 
girls' coats and jackets increased absolutely and relative to domestic 
shipments in 1992 compared to 1991 and in the 12-month period ending in 
September 1993 compared to the same period in 1992. U.S. imports of 
men's and boys' suits increased absolutely and relative to domestic 
shipments in 1992 compared to 1991.
    New findings on reconsideration show that a major manufacturer of 
the subject firm reduced its purchases of men's suits and women's 
jackets from the subject firm in 1993 and increased its import 
purchases.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that workers at John Roberts/Act II, 
Inc., in Biddeford, Maine were adversely affected by increased imports 
of articles that are like or directly competitive with the men's suits 
previously produced at the subject firm. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Act, I make the following revised determination for 
workers of John Roberts/Act II, Inc., in Biddeford, Maine.


    All workers of Act II, Inc., d/b/a John Roberts in Biddeford, 
Maine who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after September 20, 1992 are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 22d day of March 1994.
