Spectrum Yarns, Inc., Kings Mountain,
NC; Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration
By application of November 8, 2005 a
company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination
regarding eligibility for workers and
former workers of the subject firm to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). The
denial notice was signed on October 21,
2005 and published in the Federal
Register on November 9, 2005 (70 FR
68099).
The TAA petition, filed on behalf of
workers at Spectrum Yarns, Inc., Kings
Mountain, North Carolina, engaged in
production of dyed yarns was denied
because criteria 3(A) and 3(B) were not
met. The negative determination was
based on the findings that job losses at
the subject firm were not attributed to
the subject firm losing business as a
supplier to a firm that shifted
production abroad or was affected by
increased imports.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the products
manufactured at the subject facility.
Upon further investigation on
reconsideration, it was revealed that
workers of the subject firm produce the
spun polyester poly blend dyed yarn;
they are separately identifiable from
other workers of the subject firm. It was
further revealed that employment and
sales of the spun polyester poly blend
dyed yarn decreased during the relevant
time period.
The company official provided a list
of the subject firm’s customers, and
requested an investigation of a
secondary impact on the subject firm as
an upstream supplier in the textile
industry. A review of the new facts has
determined that the workers of the
subject firm may qualify as eligible for
TAA on the basis of a secondary
upstream supplier impact.
Having conducted an investigation of
subject firm workers on the basis of
secondary impact, it was revealed that
Spectrum Yarns, Inc., Kings Mountain,
North Carolina, supplied spun polyester
poly blend dyed yarn that were used in
the production of textile fabrics and
other textile products, and a loss of
business with domestic manufacturers
(whose workers were certified eligible to
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

apply for adjustment assistance)
contributed importantly to the workers
separation or threat of separation.
In accordance with section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of section 246 of the Trade
Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the
requirements of section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that workers of Spectrum
Yarns, Inc., Kings Mountain, North
Carolina, engaged in production of spun
polyester poly blend dyed yarn qualify
as adversely affected secondary workers
under section 222 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Spectrum Yarns, Inc., Kings
Mountain, North Carolina, engaged in
production of spun polyester poly blend
dyed yarn, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July
30, 2005, 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 and
All workers of Spectrum Yarns, Inc., Kings
Mountain, North Carolina, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 19, 2004,
through two years from the date of this
certification, are eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under
section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of
December, 2005.

Adjustment Assistance.
