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 its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
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 November 8, 2006 and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta
Woodside Industries, Inc., Beattie Plant, Fountain Inn, South
Carolina (TA-W-60,380); Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta
Woodside Industries, Inc., Delta Plant No. 3, Wallace, South
Carolina (TA-W-60,380A); Pamplico Plant, Pamplico, South Carolina
(TA-W-60,380B); Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside
Industries, Inc., Sales Office, New York, New York (TA-W-
60,380C); Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside
Industries, Inc., Sales Office, Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-60,380D);
Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.,
Sales Office, Dallas, Texas (TA-W-60,380E) and Delta Mills, Inc.,
Division of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc., Sales Office, San
Francisco, California (TA-W-60,380F). The workers produced woven
textile fabric.
The workers at the subject facilities are under and existing
certification under TA-W-55,989 (including A-E) through December
16, 2006. More layoffs are anticipated beyond the expiration of
the existing certification.
The investigation revealed that production and employment
declined at all specified locations during the relevant period.
The Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject
firm's major declining customer regarding their purchases of
woven textile fabric during 2004, 2005 and January through
October 2006. The survey revealed that customers increased their
reliance on imports during the relevant 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 addition, 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 subject facility are
over age 50 and do not possess easily transferable skills.
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 woven textile fabric produced
at Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside Industries,
Inc., Beattie Plant, Fountain Inn, South Carolina (TA-W-60,380);
Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc.,
Delta Plant No. 3, Wallace, South Carolina (TA-W-60,380A);
Pamplico Plant, Pamplico, South Carolina (TA-W-60,380B); Delta
Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc., Sales
Office, New York, New York (TA-W-60,380C); Delta Mills, Inc.,
Division of Delta Woodside Industries, Inc., Sales Office,
Atlanta, Georgia (TA-W-60,380D); Delta Mills, Inc., Division of
Delta Woodside Industries, Inc., Sales Office, Dallas, Texas (TA-
W-60,380E) and Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside
Industries, Inc., Sales Office, San Francisco, California (TA-W-
60,380F) contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production
and at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

"All workers of Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta
Woodside Industries, Inc., Beattie Plant, Fountain Inn,
South Carolina (TA-W-60,380); Delta Mills, Inc., Division of
Delta Woodside Industries, Inc., Delta Plant No. 3, Wallace,

Woodside Industries, Inc., Sales Office, Dallas, Texas (TA-
W-60,380E) and Delta Mills, Inc., Division of Delta Woodside
Industries, Inc., Sales Office, San Francisco, California
(TA-W-60,380F) who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 17, 2006 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."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 8th day of December, 2006.
