Pisgah Yarn and Dyeing Company Including On-Site Leased Workers 
From Manpower, Inc. Old Fort, NC; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated May 12, 2011, workers requested administrative 
reconsideration of the negative determination regarding workers' 
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable 
to workers and former workers of Pisgah Yarn & Dyeing Company, Old 
Fort, North Carolina (subject firm). The worker group includes on-site 
leased workers from Manpower, Inc. The determination was issued on 
April 28, 2011. The Department's Notice of Determination will soon be 
published in the Federal Register. The workers are engaged in 
employment related to the production of cotton yarn used for craft 
trade.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that there was 
no shift to/acquisition from a foreign country by the subject firm in 
production of yarn; that the quantity of sales and production at the 
subject firm increased in 2010 from 2009 levels; that the subject firm 
is neither a Supplier nor a Downstream Producer to a firm that employed 
a worker group eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance; and 
that the subject firm was not named in an affirmative finding of injury 
by the U.S. International Trade Commission.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners alleged that 
the company was sold to a Canadian firm.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
petitioning workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act 
of 1974, as amended. Specifically, the Department will conduct further 
investigation to determine whether the purchasing firm was a successor-
in-interest.

Conclusion

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