In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the
46776 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 171 / Thursday, September 4, 1997 / Notices

Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on

January 28, 1997, applicable to all

workers of California Fashions

Industries, Inc. located in Los Angeles,

California. The notice was published in

the Federal Register on February 13,

1997 (62 FR 6805).

At the request of the petitioners, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information received by the company

shows that worker separations have

occurred at the New York, New York

location of California Fashions

Industries, Inc. The New York, New

York location is the showroom and sales

office for California Fashions’

production facility in Los Angeles,

California. The workers are engaged in

the production of ladies’ garments.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

California Fashions Industries, Inc. who

were adversely affected by increased

imports of ladies’ garments.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to cover the

workers of California Industries, Inc.,

Parker Abex NWL Aerospace

Kalamazoo, Michigan; Notice of

Revised Determination on

Reconsideration

On July 24, 1997, the Department

issued an Affirmative Determination

Regarding Application for

Reconsideration for the workers and

former workers of the subject firm. The

notice will soon be published in the

Federal Register.

The workers at Parker Abex NWL

Aerospace in Kalamazoo, Michigan

produced flight control systems

including hydraulic actuators, flight

controls, and hydraulic pumps. The

worker petition for TAA was initially

denied because the ‘‘contributed

importantly’’ test of the Group

Eligibility Requirements of Section 222

of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended,

was not met. The layoffs were

attributable to the transfer of production

from Kalamazoo, Michigan to other

plants located domestically.

The petitioner presented information

regarding import impact that had not

been considered in the initial

determination.

On reconsideration the Department

surveyed the major declining customers

of the subject firm. The survey results

revealed that customers increased

import purchases of flight control

systems from 1995 to 1996.

Conclusion

After careful consideration of the new

facts obtained on reconsideration, it is

concluded that the workers of Parker

Abex, NWL Aerospace, Kalamazoo,

Michigan were adversely affected by

increased imports of articles like or

directly competitive with transformers

produced at the subject firm.

‘‘All workers of Parker Abex NWL

Aerospace, Kalamazoo, Michigan, engaged in

employment related to the production of

flight control systems, who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after February 1, 1996 are eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.’’

Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day

of August 1997.
