Renfro Corporation, Hot Sox
Warehouse, Secaucus, NJ; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
By letter dated September 6, 2007, a
company official requested
administrative reconsideration by the
U.S. Department of Labor (the
Department) of the Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to
workers and former workers of Renfro
Corporation, Hot Sox Warehouse,
Secaucus, New Jersey (the subject firm).
The Department’s determination was
issued on August 8, 2007. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on August 27, 2007 (72 FR 49024).
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject workers, who are engaged in the
packaging and distribution of socks
produced abroad, are not engaged in
employment related to the production of
an article within the meaning of Section
222(a)(2) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the
Act) and do not support a firm or
appropriate subdivision that produces
an article domestically. The Department
concluded that the workers cannot be
considered import impacted or affected
by a shift in production of an article.
In the request for reconsideration, the
company official provided additional
information that showed that the subject
workers are engaged in activity related
to the production of packaged socks.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department confirmed
that the subject firm ceased operations
and obtained new information that
increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with the packaged
socks produced by the subject workers
contributed importantly to workers’
separations.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department herein
presents the results of its investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to
apply for ATAA. The Department has
determined in this case that the group
eligibility 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.

Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Renfro Corporation,
Hot Sox Warehouse, Secaucus, New
Jersey, contributed importantly to the
declines in sales or production and to
the total or partial separation of workers
at the subject firm. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Renfro Corporation, Hot Sox
Warehouse, Secaucus, New Jersey, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 28, 2006,
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 are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.

October 2007.
