DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-55,745]

 
Liz Claiborne, Inc., North Bergen, NJ; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application of December 10, 2004, a representative of the New 
York Metropolitan Area Joint Board, UNITE HERE requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department of Labor's negative determination 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA), applicable to 
workers of the subject firm. The Department's negative determination 
was issued on November 9, 2004.
    The Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register 
on December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71429).
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner asserts that, 
contrary to the Department's findings, the subject worker group's 
separation from the subject firm was due to the shift of sample 
production abroad.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the petitioner's request for 
reconsideration as well as the subject firm's response, and has 
determined that the Department will conduct further investigation based 
on the new information provided by the petitioner and the company 
official.

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 at Washington, DC, this 1st day of March 2005.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
