To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 30, 2006,
applicable to workers of Parkdale America, LLC, Eden, North
Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on

At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in the production of open end spun yarn.
New information shows that Parkdale Mills, Inc. is the
parent firm of Parkdale America, LLC. Worker separated from
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under two
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax accounts: Parkdale
America, LLC and Parkdale Mills, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the Eden, North Carolina location of the subject
firm who was adversely affected by increased customer imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-60,280 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Parkdale America, LLC, Parkdale Mills,
Inc., Eden, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October

apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974 and are also eligible to apply

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a secondarily affected
worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on October 24, 2006, and filed on behalf of workers at
Parkdale America, LLC, Eden, North Carolina. The workers produce
open end spun yarn.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment declined at the subject facility during the relevant
period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject
firm’s major declining customer regarding its purchases of open end
spun yarn during 2004, 2005, and January through October 2006 over
the corresponding 2005 period. The survey revealed that the major
customer increased its purchases of imported open end spun yarn,
while decreasing its purchases from the subject firm during the
relevant time period.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with open end spun yarn produced at
Parkdale America, LLC, Eden, North Carolina, contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Parkdale America, LLC, Eden, North Carolina,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after October 1, 2005, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
