B. The sales or production, or both, of
such firm or subdivision have decreased

or
II. Section (a)(2)(B) both of the

of the workers in such workers’ firm, or
an appropriate subdivision of the firm,
have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become

certification of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance as an
adversely affected secondary group to be
issued, each of the group eligibility
requirements of Section 222(b) of the
Act must be met.

an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;

Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on November 5, 2004,
applicable to workers of Dan River, Inc.,
1325 Avenue of The Americas, New

Dan River, Inc., 1325 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York, located
