Hanes Brands Incorporated, Forest
City, NC; Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application of August 27, 2007, a
petitioner 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).
The denial notice was signed on July 25,
2007 and published in the Federal
Register on August 9, 2007 (72 FR
44866).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The TAA petition filed on behalf of
workers at Hanes Brands Incorporated,
Forest City, North Carolina engaged in
the production of fleece and Jersey
fabric, was denied based on the findings
that during the relevant time period, the
subject company 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.

Jkt 214001
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner states that there was a
significant decrease in employment at
the subject firm in the past few years
and that the subject firm replaces
workers who have left the company by
temporary labor.
The company official was contacted
to verify employment numbers at the
subject firm. When assessing eligibility
for TAA, the Department exclusively
considers the relevant employment data
(for one year prior to the date of the
petition and any imminent layoffs) for
the facility where the petitioning worker
group was employed. The company
official confirmed what was established
during the initial investigation.
Production and salaried worker
employment at the subject firm has
increased from 2005 to 2006 and from
January through June of 2007 when
compared with the same period in 2006.
Furthermore, the company official
clarified that the subject firm does hire
temporary workers in the times of
increased demand. However, the
employment numbers provided by the
company official in the initial
investigation do not reflect temporary
workers.
Should conditions change in the
future, the petitioner is encouraged to
file a new petition on behalf of the
worker group which will encompass an
investigative period that will include
these changing conditions.
Conclusion
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of
September 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
[FR Doc. E7–19726 Filed 10–4–07; 8:45 am]
administrative reconsideration of the
Department of Labor’s Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to
workers and former workers of the
subject firm. The denial notice was
signed on July 10, 2007 and published
in the Federal Register on July 26, 2007
(72 FR 41088).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of suspension
assemblies for disk drives did not
contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm and no
shift of production to a foreign source
occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
customers.
The Department has reviewed the
workers’ request for reconsideration and
the existing record, and has determined
that an administrative review is
appropriate. Therefore, the Department
will conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. The application
is, therefore, granted.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 28th day of
September 2007.
