DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-34,713]

 
NCC Industries, Incorporated, Cortland, NY; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reopening

    On October 13, 1998 the Department issued a Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance, 
applicable to workers and former workers of NCC Industries, Inc., 
Cortland, New York. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
October 23, 1998 (63 FR 56942).
    By letter of November 10, 1998, the petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding the Department's denial. New 
information provided by the petitioners and the company indicate that 
the workers would have been covered under a previous certification (TA-
W-32,428) except that the layoffs occurred after that petition expired 
on August 9, 1998. Information from the company states that the 
original layoff schedule for workers at the subject facility occurred 
over a longer period of time than originally anticipated due to 
unanticipated exigencies resulting from a shift in production to an 
off-shore location. It is the Department's intent to cover all of the 
affected workers impacted by increased imports at the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reopening, 
I conclude that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with women's intimate apparel contributed importantly to 
the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial 
separation of workers of NCC Industries, Incorporated, Cortland, New 
York. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:

    All workers of NCC Industries, Incorporated, Cortland, New York, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after August 10, 1998 through two years of the date of certification 
are eligible to apply for worker adjustment assistance under Section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 2nd day of February 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
