[TA-W-57,838]

 
Texstyle, Inc.; Manchester, KY; Notice of Revised Determination 
on Reconsideration

    On December 22, 2005, the Department of Labor issued a Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration 
applicable to the subject firm. The Notice will soon be published in 
the Federal Register.
    During the initial investigation, the Department found that workers 
did not produce an article or support an affiliated domestic production 
facility during the relevant period.
    During the reconsideration investigation, it was found that 
production of home furnishings occurred at the subject facility during

[[Page 4939]]

the relevant period. The investigation also revealed that the subject 
facility closed in December 2005 and that subject company imports 
increased following the production shift abroad.
    The August 16, 2005 petition, filed by the subject company, did not 
request Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA).

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that a shift of production to China 
followed by increased imports of home furnishings contributed 
importantly to worker separations at the subject firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    ``All workers of TexStyle, Inc., Manchester, Kentucky, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
August 16, 2004, 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 18th day of January 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
