Mt. Pleasant Hosiery Mills, Inc. Mt. Pleasant, NC; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration of Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated January 28, 2009, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers of the subject firm. The 
negative determination was signed on December 16, 2008, and published 
in the Federal Register on January 14, 2009 (74 FR 2137).
    The workers of Mt. Pleasant Hosiery Mills, Inc., Mt. Pleasant, 
North Carolina were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA) on December 16, 2008.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that there was not a 
significant number of workers in the workers' firm that are 50 years of 
age or older.
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official submitted 
revised employment numbers which show that a significant number or 
proportion of the worker group of the subject firm are fifty years of 
age or older.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable. A significant number or 
proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over. Competitive 
conditions within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of Mt. Pleasant Hosiery Mills, Inc., Mt. Pleasant, 
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after November 12, 2007 through December 16, 2010, 
are eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under Section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974 and are also eligible to apply for 
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 11th day of February, 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
