Intercontinental Branded Apparel, Ellwood Avenue, Buffalo, New 
York; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By letter of February 5, 2001, the company requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department's denial of eligibility to apply for 
trade adjustment assistance applicable to workers and former workers of 
the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on December 18, 2000, and was published in the Federal Register 
on January 11, 2001 (66 FR 2450). The investigation findings showed 
that employment did not decrease during the relevant time period.
    New information provided by the company show that employment of 
production workers decreased in January through November 2000, compared 
to January through November 1999.
    At Intercontinental Branded Apparel, Ellwood Avenue, Buffalo, New 
York, production of coats declined in January through November 2000, 
compared to the same 1999 time period. During this same time period, 
company imports of men's suit coats increased.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with men's suit coats contributed importantly to 
the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial 
separation of workers of Intercontinental Branded Apparel, Ellwood 
Avenue, Buffalo, New York. In accordance with the provisions of the 
Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Intercontinental Branded Apparel, Ellwood Avenue, 
Buffalo, New York, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after October 17, 1999, through two years from the 
date of this certification are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed in Washington, DC, this 21st day of February, 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
