Albee Textile, New York, NY; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reopening

    On December 12, 1994, 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 on November 
28, 1994 because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group 
Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met. The denial 
notice was published in the Federal Register on December 16, 1994 (59 
FR 65076).
    A late response to the Department's customer survey shows that a 
major customer accounting for a substantial portion of Albee's 1994 
sales decline switched its purchases from the subject firm to imports.
    U.S. imports of woven fabric increased, in absolute terms, in 1993 
compared to 1992.
    Other findings show that sales decreased in the first six months of 
1994 compared to the same period in 1993. Substantial worker 
separations occurred in 1993 and 1994.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with the woven fabric produced by the subject firm 
contributed importantly to the decline in production and to the total 
or partial separation of workers at the subject firm. In accordance 
with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the following 
revised determination:

    ``All workers and former workers of Albee Textile, New York, New 
York who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after August 8, 1993, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
