Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an investigation was initiated on November 9, 2005 in response to a petition filed by the State of North Carolina on behalf of workers at Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation, Textile Effects, Albemarle, North Carolina.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility closed more than one year prior to the date of the petition. Consequently, further investigation would serve no purpose and the investigation has been terminated.
