[TA-W-39,068]


Elizabeth Webbing, Inc. Central Falls, RI; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 13, 2001, 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 December 5, 2001 (66 FR 63263).
    On June 25, 2001 the Department initially denied TAA to workers of 
Elizabeth Webbing, Inc., Central Falls, Rhode Island producing nylon 
and polyester webbing because the ``contributed importantly'' group 
eligibility requirement of section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, was not met.
    On reconsideration, the department surveyed additional customers of 
the subject plant regarding their purchases of nylon and polyester 
webbing during the relevant period. The survey revealed that customers 
increased their imports of nylon and polyester webbing, while 
decreasing their purchases from the subject plant during the relevant 
period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with nylon and polyester webbing, contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of Elizabeth Webbing, Inc., Central 
Falls, Rhode Island. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I 
make the following certification:

    All workers of Elizabeth Webbing, Inc., Central Falls, Rhode 
Island who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after April 9, 2000 through two years of this certification, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 12th day of December 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
