component parts produced by such firm have increased;
(D) Imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced directly using services supplied by such firm, have
increased; and
(4) The increase in imports contributed importantly to such
workers' separation or threat of separation and to the decline in the
sales or production of such firm; or
II. Section 222(a)(2)(B) all of the following must be satisfied:

requirements of Section 222(f) of the Act must be met.

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.

74,344..................... Hanes Brands, Inc......... Winston Salem, NC. ................................
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the Department issued a negative determination on petitions
related to the relevant investigation period applicable to the same
worker group. The duplicative petitions did not present new information
or a change in circumstances that would result in a reversal of the
Department's previous negative determination, and therefore, further
investigation would duplicate efforts and serve no purpose.
