[TA-W-38,243]


Color-Tex International, North Carolina Finishing Division, 
Salisbury, North Carolina; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On April 16, 2001, the Department issued a notice of affirmative 
determination regarding application for reconsideration of the denial 
of trade adjustment assistance for workers of the subject firm. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on May 3, 2001 (66 FR 
22263).
    Workers of Color-Tex International, North Carolina Finishing 
Division, Salisbury, North Carolina, engaged in employment related to 
dying and finishing fabric, were initially denied TAA because the 
``contributed importantly'' criterion of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, was not met.
    The petitioner provided a listing of additional customers of the 
subject firm. A survey of the additional customers revealed that they 
had reduced purchases from North Carolina Finishing and increased 
imports of dyed and finished fabric during the time period relevant to 
the investigation.

 Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that increases in imports of articles 
like or directly competitive with dyed and finished fabric produced at 
the subject firm contributed importantly to the decline in sales or 
production and to the total or partial separation of workers of that 
firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I 
make the following revised determination:

    All workers of Color-Tex International, North Carolina Finishing 
Division, Salibury, North Carolina, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after October 4, 1999, through two 
years from the date of this issuance, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of October 2001.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
