Kleinerts Inc. of Alabama, Greenville,

AL; Notice of Negative Determination

Regarding Application for

Reconsideration

By application postmarked March 27,

1998, the petitioners requested

administrative reconsideration of the

Department’s negative determination

regarding eligibility for workers of the

subject firm to apply for worker

adjustment assistance. The denial notice

was signed on March 19, 1998 and was

published in the Federal Register on

April 4, 1998 (63 FR 16574).

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 misinterpretation of facts or of the

law justified reconsideration of the decision.

The petitioner’s request for

reconsideration asserts that the workers

at Kleinerts’s Greenville, Alabama plant

sewed T-shirts and sweat-shirts. The

petitioner’s request for reconsideration

acknowledges that the contract for the

production of T-shirts was awarded to

another domestic manufacturer, but

asserts that the production of sweatshirts was shifted to Honduras. The

petitioners state that Kleinert’s

machines and equipment have been

shipped to Honduras. The petitioners

attribute job losses and the plant closure

to these facts.

The petition investigation for workers

of the subject firm showed that the

primary output at the Greenville plant

was T-shirts. The Department’s denial of

TAA for workers of the subject firm was

based on the fact that the ‘‘contributed

importantly’’ test of the group Eligibility

requirements of Section 222 of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not

met. The ‘‘contributed importantly’’ test

is generally demonstrated through a

survey of the subject firm’s customers.

The Department of Labor surveyed the

major customer of the subject firm

regarding their purchases of imported

T-shirts. The respondent reported no

import purchases of T-shirts in 1996 or

1997.

In response to the petitioners

allegation regarding the shift of

machines and equipment from Alabama

to Honduras, the sale or shift of such

items to a foreign country does not form

the basis for a worker group

certification.

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, D.C. this 15th day

of April 1998.

Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment

Assistance.
