GLEN RAVEN TECHNICAL FABRICS, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF GLEN RAVEN, INC.
BURNSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on August 17, 2007,
applicable to workers of Glen Raven Technical Fabrics, LLC, a
subsidiary of Glen Raven, Inc., Burnsville, North Carolina. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2007
(72 FR 50126).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of broadwoven fabrics.
The findings show that there was a previous certification,
TA-W-56,805, issued on May 6, 2005, for workers of Glen Raven
Technical Fabrics, LLC, a subsidiary of Glen Raven, Inc.,
Burnsville, North Carolina. That certification expired May 6,
2007.
In order to avoid an overlap in worker group coverage, this
certification is being amended to change the impact date from
June 8, 2006 to May 7, 2007, for workers of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,656 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Glen Raven Technical Fabrics, LLC, a
subsidiary of Glen Raven, Inc., Burnsville, North Carolina,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after May 7, 2007, through August 17, 2009, 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."

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 on June 11, 2007 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Glen Raven Technical Fabrics, LLC, a subsidiary of Glen Raven,
Inc., Burnsville, North Carolina. Workers produce broadwoven
fabrics.
The investigation revealed that employment and production at
the Burnsville plant declined from 2005 to 2006 and in January
through May 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Sales
declined from 2005 to 2006.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm’s primary
customers regarding purchases of broadwoven fabrics in 2005, 2006
and January through May 2007. The survey revealed an increased
reliance on imports in the relevant period.
United States aggregate imports of broadwoven fabrics
increased in January through June 2007 compared with the same
period one year prior.
In addition, 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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with broadwoven fabrics produced at
Glen Raven Technical Fabrics, LLC, a subsidiary of Glen Raven,
Inc., Burnsville, 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 Glen Raven Technical Fabrics, LLC, a
subsidiary of Glen Raven, Inc., Burnsville, North Carolina,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after June 8, 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.”
