JPS Apparel Fabrics Corporation Greenville, SC; JPS Apparel 
Fabrics Corporation South Boston, VA; JPS Apparel Fabrics Corporation 
New York, NY; JPS Apparel Fabrics Corporation Laurens, SC: Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter of August 28, 2001, the company requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notices of Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance JPS Apparel Fabrics Corporation, Greenville, South Carolina 
(TA-W-39, 632) including the following locations: South Boston, 
Virginia (TA-W-39, 632A); New York, New York (TA-W-39, 632B) and 
Laurens, South Carolina (TA-W-39, 632C) and NAFTA-Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-5059 & (A-C) respectively) for workers of 
the subject firm. The denial notices applicable to workers of JPS 
Apparel Fabrics Corporation, were signed on August 21, 2001, and 
published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2001, TA-W-39, 632 
(66 FR 47242) and NAFTA-5059 (66 FR 47243).
    The company presents new information regarding the customer survey 
conducted by the Department of Labor. The company believes a major 
customer may be importing spun and filament greige woven apparel 
fabric, while decreasing their purchases from the subject plant during 
the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefor, granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of October, 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of, Trade Adjustment Assistance.
