Winona Knitting Mills, Inc. Berwick

Knitwear (Formerly Komar & Sons

Berwick Knitwear) Berwick,

Pennsylvania; Notice of Revised

Determination On Reconsideration

On April 27, 1996, The Department

issued a Notice of Affirmative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration for workers of

Winona Knitting Mills, Inc., Berwick

Knitwear, Formerly Komar & Sons

Berwick Knitwear, Berwick,

Pennsylvania, to apply for NAFTATransitional Adjustment Assistance

(NAFTA–TAA). The notice will soon be

published in the Federal Register.

Investigation findings show that the

workers produced sweaters. The

workers were denied NAFTA–TAA

because criteria (3) and (4) of the group

eligibility requirements in paragraph

(a)(1) of Section 250 of the Trade Act of

1974, as amended, were not met.

Investigation findings showed that

Winona Knitting Mills did not import

sweaters from Mexico or Canada, nor

did Winona shift production of sweaters

to Mexico or Canada.

New investigation findings on

reconsideration shows that the articles

manufactured by Winona Knitting Mills

have been impacted importantly by

imports of sweaters from Mexico and

Canada. U.S. import statistics for

sweaters from Mexico and Canada show

imports increased significantly during

the time period relevant to the

investigation. The quantity of U.S.

imports of sweaters increased 65% from

1993 to 1994, and by almost 125% from

1994 to 1995.

Conclusion

After careful consideration of the new

facts obtained on reconsideration, it is

concluded that the workers of Winona

Knitting Mills, Inc. of Berwick,

Pennsylvania were adversely affected by

increased imports from Mexico and

Canada of articles like or directly

competitive with sweaters produced at

the subject firm.

‘‘All workers of Winona Knitting Mills,

Inc., Berwick Knitwear, Formerly Komar &

Sons Berwick Knitwear, Berwick

Pennsylvania who became totally or partially

separated from employment on or after

February 26, 1995 are eligible to apply for

NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of the Trade

Act of 1974.’’

May 1996.

Employment Standards

Administration, Wage and Hour

Division

Minimum Wages for Federal and

Federally Assisted Construction;

General Wage Determination Decisions

General wage determination decisions

of the Secretary of Labor are issued in

accordance with applicable law and are

based on the information obtained by

the Department of Labor from its study

of local wage conditions and data made

available from other sources. They

specify the basic hourly wage rates and

fringe benefits which are determined to

be prevailing for the described classes of

laborers and mechanics employed on

construction projects of a similar

character and in the localities specified

therein.

The determinations in these decisions

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits

have been made in accordance with 29

CFR Part 1, by authority of the Secretary

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931,

as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended,

40 U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal

statutes referred to in 29 CFR Part 1,

Appendix, as well as such additional

statutes as may from time to time be

enacted containing provisions for the

payment of wages determined to be

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits

determined in these decisions shall, in

accordance with the provisions of the

foregoing statutes, constitute the

minimum wages payable on Federal and

federally assisted construction projects

to laborers and mechanics of the

specified classes engaged on contract

work of the character and in the

localities described therein.

Good causes is hereby found for not

utilizing notice and public comment

procedure theron prior to the issuance

of these determinations as prescribed in

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay

in the effective date as prescribed in that

section, because the necessity to issue

current construction industry wage

determinations frequently and in large

volume causes procedures to be

impractical and contrary to the public

interest.

General wage determination

decisions, and modifications and

supersedeas decisions thereto, contain

no expiration dates and are effective

from their date of notice in the Federal

Register, or on the date written notice

is received by the agency, whichever is

earlier. These decisions are to be used

in accordance with the provisions of 29

CFR Parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the

applicable decision, together with any

modifications issued, must be made a

part of every contract for performance of

the described work within the

geographic area indicated as required by

an applicable Federal prevailing wage

law and 29 CFR Part 5. The wage rate

and fringe benefits, notice of which is

published herein, and which are

contained in the Government Printing

Office (GPO) document entitled

‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued

Under the Davis-Bacon and Related

Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by

contractors and subcontractors to

laborers and mechanics.

Any person, organization, or

governmental agency having an interest

in the rates determined as prevailing is

encouraged to submit wage rate and

fringe benefit information for

consideration by the Department.

Further information and selfexplanatory forms for the purpose of

submitting this data may be obtained by
