Roxanne of New Jersey, Neptune, New Jersey and Art San 
Corporation, Neptune, New Jersey; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reopening

    On March 21, 1996, 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 
October 26, 1995, because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the 
Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met for workers 
at the subject firm. The denial notice was published in the Federal 
Register on November 9, 1995 (60 FR 56619).
    Late responses to a customer survey conducted by the Department 
show customers of the subject firm increased import purchases of 
swimsuits during the time period relevant to the investigation. Other 
new findings show increased aggregate U.S. imports of women's and 
girls' swimwear from 1993 to 1994 and in the twelve months through 
September 1994 and 1995.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with women's swimsuits produced by the subject firm 
contributed importantly to the declines 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 Roxanne of New Jersey, Neptune, New Jersey (TA-
W-31, 368), and Art San Corporation, Neptune, New Jersey (TA-W-369) 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after August 17, 1994, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 26th day of March 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
