Winona Knitting Mills, Inc. Berwick Knitwear (Formerly Komar & 
Sons Berwick Knitwear) Berwick, Pennsylvania; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On April 27, 1996, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    Investigation findings show that the workers produced sweaters. The 
workers were denied TAA because the ``contributed importantly'' test of 
the Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met.
    New investigation findings on reconsideration show that the 
articles manufactured by Winona Knitting Mills have been impacted 
importantly by the high penetration of imports into this market. U.S. 
import statistics for men's and boys', and women's and girls' sweaters 
show that the ratio of imports to U.S. shipments was more than 200% in 
both 1994 and 1995.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers of Winona Knitting 
Mills, Inc. of Berwick, Pennsylvania were adversely affected by 
increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with 
sweaters produced at the subject firm.
