Certifications 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 15, 2007 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Dan River, Inc., 1325
Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York. The workers of the
subject firm provided a variety of business services for other
affiliated manufacturing facilities. These services included the
design, marketing, and sale of home textiles.


Workers at Dan River, Inc., 1325 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, New York were certified eligible to apply for Adjustment
Assistance on November 5, 2004 (TA-W-55,754A). That certification
expired November 5, 2006.
This investigation revealed that employment at the New York
facility declined from December 2006 through February 2007.
The decline in employment of administrative and design
personnel at New York facility is directly related to a shift in
production of home textiles by an affiliated plant, Dan River,
Inc., Home Fashions Division, Brookneal, Virginia, to a country
(Mexico) that is a party to a free trade agreement with the United
States. Workers at the Brookneal facility were certified eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 9, 2006 (TA-W-
58,521). Workers at the New York facility were in support of that
facility.
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 the case of Dan River, Inc.,
1325 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the subject 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 conclude that a shift in production of home
furnishings textiles to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a
free trade agreement with the United States contributed importantly
to the total or partial separation of workers from Dan River, Inc.,
1325 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Dan River, Inc., 1325 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 6, 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 13th day of July 2007.
