DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-38,600]


H.L. Miller and Son, Inc., Dallas, TX; Notice of Revised 
Determination of Reconsideration

    By letter of April 18, 2001, the company, requested administrative 
reconsideration regarding the Department's Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, 
applicable to the workers of the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on March 12, 2001, based on the finding that the workers do not 
produce an article within the meaning of section 222(3) of the Act. The 
denial notice was published in the Federal Register on April 16, 2001 
(66 FR 19520).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the company provided 
evidence to show that the subject facility was a manufacturer of ladies 
dresses and sportswear prior to the closure of facility. Aggregate U.S. 
imports of ladies dresses and sportswear increased significantly during 
the relevant period. The import to shipment ratio for ladies dresses 
and sportswear was greater than 150 percent during the 2000 period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced at H.L. Miller and Son, Inc., 
Dallas, Texas, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or 
production and to the total or partial separation of workers at the 
subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:

    All workers of H.L. Miller and Son, Inc., Dallas, Texas, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
January 18, 2000 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 20th day of September 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
