DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-62,659]


Richloom Home Fashions Division of Richloom Fabrics Corporation 
Clinton, SC; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application 
for Reconsideration

    By applications postmarked March 6, 2008, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of 
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm. The denial notice was signed on February 22, 2008 and 
published in the Federal Register on March 7, 2008 (73 FR 12466).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that the worker group does not produce an article 
within the meaning of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding the production of samples by the 
subject firm and requested that the Department conduct further 
investigation of the Sample Department.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
Sample Department workers meet the eligibility requirements of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 27th day of March, 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
