DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-32,253]


Pioneer Manufacturing, Incorporated, Salisbury, NC; Notice of 
Revised Determination of Reconsideration

    On May 14, 1996, the Department issued a Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, 
applicable to all workers of Pioneer Manufacturing, Incorporated 
located in Salisbury, North Carolina. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on June 6, 1996 (FR 61 28899).
    By letter of May 30, 1996, the company official requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's findings.
    The company presented new evidence that was not considered in the 
original determination. The company official showed that one of their 
major customers, beginning June 1996, is transferring production of 
boy's suits to Mexico, which will be imported back to the United 
States.
    Other findings on reconsideration reveal that the quantity of 
aggregate U.S. imports of men's and boys' suits increased dramatically 
from 1994 to 1995.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I concluded that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with boys' suits contributed importantly to the 
declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers of Pioneer Manufacturing, Incorporated, in Salisbury, North 
Carolina. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:


[[Page 38223]]


    All workers of Pioneer Manufacturing, Incorporated, Salisbury, 
North Carolina who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after April 9, 1995, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1994.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 3rd day of July 1996.
Curtis K. Kooser,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Service, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
