Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance 

In accordance with Section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 

U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the 

Department of Labor issued a 

Certification Regarding Eligibility to 

Apply for Worker Adjustment 

Assistance and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance on January 28, 

2008, applicable to workers of Giant 

Merchandising, Inc., including on-site 

leased workers from Priority Temporary 

Services, Partners In Diversity and 

Apple One, Commerce, California. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on February 13, 2008 (73 FR 

8369). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the certification 

for workers of the subject firm. 

New information shows that a worker 

separation (Mr. Halton Hamer) has 

occurred involving an employee in 

support of and under the control of the 

Commerce, California facility of Giant 

Merchandising, Inc. operating out of 

Rochester, Minnesota. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include an employee in 

support of the Commerce, California 

facility operating out of Rochester, 

Minnesota. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers of 

Giant Merchandising, Inc., Commerce, 

California who were adversely affected 

by a shift in production of screen 

printed apparel to Mexico. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–62,629 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

‘‘All workers of Giant Merchandising, Inc., 

including on-site leased workers from 

Priority Temporary Services, Partners In 

Diversity, and Apple One, Commerce, 

California (TA–W–62,629), including an 

employee in support of Giant Merchandising, 

Inc., Commerce, California operating out of 

Rochester, Minnesota (TA–W–62,629A), who 

became totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after December 10, 2006, 

through January 28, 2010, are eligible to 

apply for adjustment assistance under 

Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are 

also eligible to apply for alternative trade 

adjustment assistance under Section 246 of 

the Trade Act of 1974.’’

Richloom Home Fashions, Division of 

Richloom Fabrics Corporation, Clinton, 

SC; Notice of Negative Determination 

on Reconsideration 

On March 27, 2008, the Department 

issued an Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration for the workers and 

former workers of the subject firm. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on April 24, 2008 (73 FR 

22166). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that worker group does not 

produce an article within the meaning 

of section 222 for the Trade Act of 1974. 

In the request for reconsideration the 

petitioner stated that workers of the 

Sample Department of the subject firm 

produce samples of window treatments 

and bed coverings and requested that 

the Department conduct further 

investigation of the Sample Department. 

On reconsideration, the Department 

contacted a company official and 

requested additional information 

regarding the production of samples of 

window treatments and bed coverings. 

The investigation revealed that workers 

of the Sample Department, Richloom 

Home Fashions in Clinton, South 

Carolina manufacture samples of 

window treatments and bed coverings. 

However, the investigation also revealed 

that only one worker was separated 

from the Sample Department in 2007 

and there was no threat of future 

separations. 

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. Significant number or 

proportion of the workers in a firm or 

appropriate subdivision means at least 

three workers in a workforce of fewer 

than 50 workers, five percent of the 

workers in a workforce of over 50 

workers, or at least 50 workers. As 

employment levels at the subject facility 

did not decline during the relevant time 

period and there was no threat of 

separations during the relevant period, 

criterion (1) has not been met. 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration, I affirm the 

original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

worker adjustment assistance for 

workers and former workers of 

Richloom Home Fashions, division of 

Richloom Fabrics Corporation, Clinton, 

South Carolina.
