Affirmative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By letter of August 11, 1997, the State

of Oregon transmitted the subject firm’s

request for administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance, applicable to petition

number TA–W–33,487 and NAFTA

petition number 01649. The denial

notice was signed on July 16, 1997 and

published in the Federal Register on

August 1, 1997 (62 FR 41423).

The subject firm asserts that there are

imports of like and directly competitive

articles from foreign sources which

caused the employment separations and

provided additional information to

substantiate the claim.

Conclusion

After careful review of the

application, I conclude that the claim is

of sufficient weight to justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. The application

is, therefore, granted.

North Safety Products, Cranston,

Rhode Island; Including Leased

Workers of Kelly Services,

Incorporated, Warwick, Rhode Island;

Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on July

18, 1997, applicable to all workers of

North Safety Products, located in

Cranston, Rhode Island. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

September 4, 1997 (62 46775).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information provided by the State

shows that some workers of North

Safety Products were leased from Kelly

Services, Incorporated to produce

respiratory and eye and face protective

devices. Based on these findings, the

Department is amending the

certification to include leased workers

from Kelly Services, Incorporated,

Warwick, Rhode Island.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

North Safety Products adversely affected

by imports.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,522 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of North Safety Products,

Cranston, Rhode Island, and leased workers

of Kelly Services, Incorporated, Warwick,

Rhode Island engaged in employment related

to the production of respiratory and eye and

face protection devices for North Safety

Products, Cranston, Rhode Island who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after May 14, 1996, are

eligible to apply for adjustment assistance

under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc., Erie, PA;

Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a Notice of

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on June 5, 1997, applicable

to workers of Owens-Illinois Closure,

Inc., located in Erie, Pennsylvania. The

notice was published in the Federal

Register on June 27, 1997 (62 FR 34710).

At the request of the State agency the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. Findings

show that the petition investigation was

conducted on behalf of workers at

Owens-Illinois Closure Inc., producing

metal cans and lids. The TAA

certification, however, covered all

workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc.,

in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Other findings of the investigation

review show that the decision document

inadvertently reported that the plant

closed on December 31, 1996. The plant,

however, continues in operation. There

is another worker group at the subject

plant that produce plastic products.

Since the workers are separately

identifiable by product line, the

Department is amending the worker

group certification to limit coverage to

only those workers of Owens-Illinois

Closure, Inc., in Erie, Pennsylvania

producing metal cans and lids.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include only those

workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc.,

who were affected by increased imports.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,326 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc.,

Erie, Pennsylvania, engaged in employment

related to the production of metal cans and

lids, who became totally or partially

separated from employment on or after

February 28, 1996, are eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.

workers at the New York, New York

location provided sales office functions

and designing to support production of

children’s sportswear at Hickory Hills
