DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Emnployment and Training Administration
[TA-W-34, 896]


Paxar Woven Label Paterson, NJ; Notice of Revised Determination 
on Reconsideration

    On March 8, 1999, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on March 16, 1999 (64 FR 13039).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Paxar Woven 
Label, Paterson, New Jersey, because the ``contributed importantly'' 
group eligibility requirement of Section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 
1974, as amended, was not met.
    On reconsideration, the Department obtained additional information 
from the company concerning imports of woven labels such as those 
manufactured at the subject facility. The company provided information 
which reflected an increased reliance on imports of woven labels in 
recent years which contributed to the decline in production and closure 
of the subject facility.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with woven labels contributed importantly to the 
declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers of Paxar Woven Label, Paterson, New Jersey. In accordance 
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Paxar Woven Label, Paterson, New Jersey who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
April 3, 1998 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974;

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 27th day of April 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
