DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-40,449]


Clebert's Hosiery Mill, Inc., Connelly Springs, NC; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By letter of March 29, 2002, 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 February 15, 2002, based on the finding that imports of socks 
did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the Connelly 
Springs plant. The denial

[[Page 37869]]

notice was published in the Federal Register on February 28, 2002 (67 
FR 9324).
    The company requested that the Department examine industry data 
concerning the amount of sock imports entering the United States.
    A review of relevant industry data, not available during the 
initial investigation, shows that sock imports increased significantly 
in the 2001 period indicating an increased reliance on imported socks 
during the 2001 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 Clebert's Hosiery Mill, 
Inc., Connelly Springs, North Carolina, 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 Clebert's Hosiery Mill, Inc., Connelly Springs, 
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after November 7, 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 9th day of May, 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
