Halmode Apparel, Incorporated, a Division of Kellwood Company, 
Roanoke, Virginia; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On January 12, 2004, the petitioner requested administrative review 
of the

[[Page 11884]]

Department's negative determination regarding workers and former 
workers of the subject firm. The negative determination was issued on 
November 17, 2003 and published in the Federal Register on December 29, 
2003 (68 FR 74977).
    The initial determination stated that the subject worker group is 
engaged in the production of markers, that the subject company shifted 
marker production to a country not under a free trade agreement with 
the United States of America, and that the subject company was not 
importing markers.
    On review of new information by the petitioner and careful review 
of information previously submitted by the company, it has been 
determined that the subject worker group was engaged in the production 
of dresses, that dress production shifted abroad, and that the subject 
company began importing dresses shortly after the shift occurred.

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 the subject firm, following 
a shift of production abroad, 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 Halmode Apparel, Incorporated, A Division of 
Kellwood Company, Roanoke, Virginia, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after September 30, 2002, 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 5th day of March 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
