DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-62,414]

 
Consistent Textile Industries Dallas, North Carolina; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    On November 27, 2007, the Department of Labor (Department) received 
a request for administrative reconsideration of the Department's Notice 
of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm. The negative determination was issued on November 13, 
2007. The Department's Notice of determination will soon be published 
in the Federal Register.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that, during the relevant period, the subject firm did not separate or 
threaten to separate a significant number or proportion of workers as 
required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974. The petition stated 
that two workers were separated and the company official stated in the 
initial investigation that the company consisted of fewer than 50 
workers.
    In the request for reconsideration, a worker alleged that three 
workers were separated from the subject firm during the relevant 
period.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the worker's request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation.

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.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of November 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
