[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.
