Burlington Industries, Inc., Knitted Fabrics Division, North 
Carolina and New York; Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening

    On March 10, 1997, 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 
issued on August 27, 1996, because the ``contributed importantly'' test 
of the Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met for 
workers at the subject firm. The workers produced knitted fabric. The 
denial notice was published in the Federal Register on September 25, 
1996 (61 FR 50332).
    A late response to the customer survey conducted by the Department 
revealed that a customer of the subject firm increased import purchases 
of knitted fabric during the time period relevant to the investigation.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with knitted fabric produced by the subject firm 
contributed importantly to the decline 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 Burlington Industries Inc., Knitted Fabrics 
Division, Greensboro, North Carolina (TA-W-32,588), Wake Forest, 
North Carolina (TA-W-32,588A), Denton, North Carolina (TA-W-
32,588B), Rocky Mount, North Carolina (TA-W-32,588C), Cramerton, 
North Carolina (TA-W-32,588D) and New York, New York (TA-W-32,588E) 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after July 19, 1995, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 12th day of March 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
