[TA-W-31, 655]


Fruit of the Loom Albemarle Spinning Mills, Albemarle, North 
Carolina; Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening

    On January 24, 1996, the Department issued a Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, 
applicable to all workers of Fruit of the Loom, Albemarle Spinning 
Mills, located in Albemarle, North Carolina. The notice was published 
in the Federal Register on February 6, 1996 (FR 61 4486).
    Based on new information received from petitioners, the Department, 
on its own motion, reviewed the findings of the investigation. New 
findings show that the yarn and fabric produced by workers of the 
subject firm supported production of t-shirts, briefs and fleecewear at 
other Fruit of the Loom production facilities. TAA certifications have 
been issued for workers of Fruit of the Loom production facilities in 
various States.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reopening, 
I conclude that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with yarn and textiles contributed importantly to the 
declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers of Fruit of the Loom, Albemarle Spinning Mills, Albemarle, 
North Carolina. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make 
the following certification:

    ``All workers of Fruit of the Loom, Albemarle Spinning Mills, 
Albemarle, North Carolina who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after November 9, 1994 are eligible to apply 
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 
1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 11th day of June 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
