DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration

[TA–W–31,622 and TA–W–31,623]

Hill Company, Incorporated; Fort Smith

Arkansas and Charleston, Arkansas;

Notice of Revised Determination on

Reconsideration

On March 22, 1996, the Department

issued an Affirmative Determination

Regarding Application for

Reconsideration for the workers and

former workers of the subject firm. The

notice will soon be published in the

Federal Register.

Investigation findings show that the

workers produced men’s western shirts.

The workers were denied TAA because

the ‘‘contributed importantly’’ test of the

Group Eligibility Requirements of the

Trade Act was not met. This test is

generally determined through a survey

of the workers’ firm’s major declining

customers.

The Department conducted a

secondary survey of Hill Company

customers. New investigation findings

on reconsideration shows that a

secondary customer increased

purchases of men’s western shirts from

Foreign sources by more than 100%

from 1993 to 1994.

Other findings on reconsideration

show that the quantity of U.S. imports

of men’s shirts increased annually from

1993 through 1994, and in the twelve

months through September 1995

compared to 1994.

Conclusion

After careful consideration of the new

facts obtained on reconsideration, it is

concluded that the workers of Hill

Company, Incorporated of Fort Smith

and Charleston, Arkansas were

adversely affected by increased imports

of articles like or directly competitive

with men’s western shirts produced at

the subject firm.

‘‘All workers of Hill Company,

Incorporated, Fort Smith, Arkansas (TA–W–

31,622) and Charleston, Arkansas (TA–W–

31,623) who became totally or partially

separated from employment on or after

October 26, 1994 are eligible to apply for
