Stanwood Mills, Incorporated, Slatington, Pennsylvania; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reopening

    In response to a letter of October 28, 1997, from a company 
official requesting administrative reconsideration of the Department's 
denial of TAA for workers of the subject firm, the Department reopened 
its investigation for the former workers of Stanwood Mills, 
Incorporated.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on October 14, 1997, 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 produce greige goods. The 
denial notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The Department has new information showing that during the time 
period relevant to the investigation, a customer of Stanwood Mills, 
Incorporated increased import purchases of greige goods, while reducing 
purchases from the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with greige goods 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 Stanwood Mills, Incorporated, Slatington, 
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after July 30, 1996, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 17th day of November 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
