Alaska Petroleum Contractors Alpine

Project Kenai (Kenai, AK; Notice of

Negative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By application dated April 24, 2000,

petitioners requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department’s

negative determination regarding

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment

Assistance (TAA), applicable to workers

and former workers of the subject firm.

The denial notice was signed on April

7, 2000, and published in the Federal

Register on April 21, 2000 (64 FR

21474).

Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18 (c)

reconsideration may be granted under

the following circumstances:

(1) If it appears on the basis of facts

not previously considered that the

determination complained of was

erroneous;

(2) If it appears that the determination

complained of was based on a mistake

in the determination of facts not

previously considered; or

(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying

Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or

of the law justified reconsideration of

the decision.

The April 7, 2000, denial of TAA for

workers engaged in employment related

to the fabrication and assembly of large

oil production modules at Alaska

Petroleum Contractors, Alpine Project

Kenai, Kenai, Alaska, was based on the

finding that the ‘‘contributed

importantly’’ test of the worker group

eligibility requirements of section 222 of

the Trade Act of 1974 was not met. The

contributed importantly test is generally

determined by a survey of the major

declining customers of the subject firm.

The Department conducted a survey of

the sole customer of Alaska Petroleum

Contractors, Alpine Project Kenai,

Kenai, Alaska. The customer did not

import oil production modules during

the time period relevant to the

investigation.

The petitioners assert that many U.S.

companies bid on the construction of

offshore drilling platforms which was

awarded to a Korean producer. They

add that Alaska Petroleum Contractors

would have been able to build this

project or continue with planned work

and deliver on site, except for cheaper

foreign labor and material offered by the

Koreans and the drop in crude oil prices

32128 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 99 / Monday, May 22, 2000 / Notices

brought on by the importation of foreign

oil.

The subject firm did not bid on the

project identified by the petitioners. The

Alpine Project Kenai, Kenai, Alaska,

was scheduled for a specific period of

time and employee layoffs were the

result of the completion of that project.

The workers were not engaged in the

production of oil, therefore, any

increase in imports of crude oil is not

a basis for worker group certification for

the workers of the subject firm. The

Department is required to examine the

imports of articles of like or directly

competitive with those produced by the

workers firm. In this case oil production

modules.

Conclusion

After review of the application and

investigative findings, I conclude that

there has been no error or

misinterpretation of the law or of the

facts which would justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the

application is denied.

May 2000.

Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade

date on behalf of workers at Bugbee &

no purpose, and the investigation has

been terminated.

Calvin Klein New York, NY; Amended

Certification Regarding Eligibility To

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a Notice of

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on March 30, 2000,

applicable to workers of Calvin Klein,

New York, New York. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

April 21, 2000 (FR 65 21474).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

workers produce women’s sportswear.

New findings show that there was a

previous certification, TA–W–33,830,

issued on March 10, 2000, for workers

of Calvin Klein, New York, New York

who were engaged in employment

related to the production of women’s

sportswear. That certification expired

March 10, 2000. To avoid an overlap in

worker group coverage, the certification

is being amended to change the impact

date from February 1, 1999 to March 11,

2000, for workers of the subject firm.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–37,335 is hereby issued as

follows:

‘‘All workers of Calvin Klein, New York,

New York who became totally or partially

separated from employment on or after

March 11, 2000 through March 30, 2002 are

eligible to apply for adjustment assistance

under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.’’

Cominco Ltd., Cominco American, Inc.

Glenbrook Operations (Formerly

Glenbrook Nickel Company); Amended

Certification Regarding Eligibility To

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance

In accordance with section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on

February 25, 1998, applicable to

workers of Glenbrook Nickel Company,

Riddle, Oregon. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

March 23, 1998 (63 FR 13879). The

certification was amended March 20,

1998 to include another manufacturing

facility of the subject firm. The notice

was published in the Federal Register

on March 31, 1998 (63 FR 15441).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

workers were engaged in the production

of ferronickel. New information

received from the company shows that

Cominco Ltd and Cominco American

are the owners of the Glenbrook

properties. In 1998, Glenbrook Nickel

Company became known as Cominco

Ltd., Cominco American,—Glenbrook

Operations. Information also shows that

workers separated from employment at

Glenbrook Nickel Company had their

wages reported under a separate

unemployment insurance (UI) tax

account for Cominco Ltd., Cominco

American,—Glenbrook Operations.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to properly

reflect this matter.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–34,244 and TA–W–344,244A are

hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Cominco Ltd., Cominco

American,—Glenbrook Operations (Formerly

Glenbrook Nickel Company), Riddle, Oregon

and Coos Bay, Oregon who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after January 30, 1997 through February 25,

2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment

assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act

of 1974.
