Pillowtex Corporation, Columbus, Georgia; Pillowtex Corporation, 
Phenix City Facility Finishing and Weave and Columbus Towel Greige, 
Phenix City, AL; Notice of Termination of Investigation

    Pursuant to Title V of the North American Free Trade Agreement 
Implementation Act and in accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter D, 
Chapter 2, Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 
2331), an investigation was initiated on May 10, 2002, in response to a 
worker petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at 
Pillowtex Corporation, located in twin plants at Columbus, Georgia and 
Phenix, Alabama. The workers produced bath products, primarily 
terrycloth bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths.
    An investigation revealed that the subject firm's workers are 
already subject to recently issued negative NAFTA determinations.
    Workers at Pillowtex Corporation, Phenix City Finishing and Weave, 
and Columbus Towel Greige, Phenix City, Alabama, were denied 
eligibility to apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment on July 3, 2002 
(NAFTA-6219). Workers in the same worker group were certified eligible 
for Trade Adjustment assistance on October 31, 2002 (TA-W-41,512)
    Workers at Pillowtex Corporation, Fieldcrest Cannon--Eagle & 
Phenix, Columbus, Georgia, were denied eligibility to apply for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment on August 14, 2001 (NAFTA-4948C). Workers in 
the same worker group were certified eligible for Trade Adjustment 
assistance on November 13, 2001 (TA-W-39,416C).
    No new information or change in circumstances is evident which 
would result in a reversal of the Department's previous NAFTA 
determinations. Consequently, further investigation would serve no 
purpose, and the investigation has been terminated.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of November 2002.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
