Thomaston Mills, Inc., Finishing

Division, Thomaston, GA; Amended

Certification Regarding Eligibility To

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance

In accordance with section 223 of the

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

Department of Labor issued a Notice of

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on November 15, 2001,

applicable to workers of Thomaston

Mills, Inc., Finishing Division,

Finishing Consumer Department,

Thomaston, Georgia engaged in the

production of sheets, pillowcases and

comforters and related accessories. All

workers of Thomaston Mills, Inc.,

Finishing Division, Finishing Apparel

Department, Thomaston, Georgia were

denied eligibility to apply for

adjustment assistance. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

November 30, 2001 (66 FR 59817).

At the request of the company, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. Findings

show that the Department limited its

certification coverage to workers of the

subject firms’s Finishing Consumer

Department in the Finishing Division

engaged in the production of sheets,

pillowcases and comforters and related

accessories. The workers employed in

the Finishing Apparel Department were

denied eligibility because they did not

meet the group eligibility requirements

of the Trade Act. The company provides

new information indicating that the

workers are not separately identifiable

within the Finishing Division.

It is the intent of the Department to

include ‘‘all workers’’ of Thomaston

Mills, Inc., Finishing Division,

Thomaston, Georgia adversely affected

by increased imports.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending this certification

determination to include all workers in

the Finishing Division.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–39,565A is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Thomaston Mills, Inc.,

Finishing Division, Thomaston, Georgia who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on after June 20, 2000, through

November 15, 2003, are eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of

December, 2001.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade

[NAFTA–04812]

Cemex Kosmos Cement Company,

Pittsburgh Plant, Pittsburgh, PA;

Notice of Affirmative Determination

Regarding Application for

Reconsideration

By letter of July 20, 2001 the

International Brotherhood of Boiler

Makers, Iron Ship Builders,

Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers

requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance, applicable to

petition number NAFTA 04613. The

denial notice was signed on June 26,

2001 and published in the Federal

Register on July 11, 2001 (66 FR 36329).

The union requested administrative

reconsideration based on the belief that

Cemex (the acquiring company of the

subject plant) replaced the subject

plants customer base with imported

cement products from Mexico.

Conclusion

After careful review of the

application, I conclude that the claim is

of sufficient weight to justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. The application

is, therefore, granted.
