SPRAY COTTON MILLS
EDEN, NORTH CAROLINA
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers
in the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision
thereof, have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially sepa
rated;
(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or
subdi-vision have decreased absolutely; and
(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or
appro-priate subdivision have contributed importantly
to the separations, or threat thereof, and to the
absolute decline in sales or production.
The investigation was initiated on January 16, 2001 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Spray Cotton
Mills, Eden, North Carolina. The workers produced cotton yarn.
The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The Department surveyed the major declining customers of
Spray Cotton Yarns regarding their purchases of cotton yarn
during 1998, 1999, and January-April 2000. The survey revealed
that none of the respondents increased their purchases of imports
while decreasing their purchases from the subject firm during the
relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Spray
Cotton Mills, Eden, North Carolina are denied eligibility to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
