Coats American Rossville Plant,

Rossville, Georgia; Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By application of September 27, 1997,

a petitioner requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department’s

negative determination regarding

worker eligibility to apply for trade

adjustment assistance, applicable to

workers of the subject firm. The denial

notice was signed on September 9, 1997

and will soon be published in the

Federal Register.

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 misinterpretation of facts or of

the law justified reconsideration of the

decision.

The request for reconsideration claims

that equipment was shipped to Mexico

to be used to produce like and directly

competitive sewing threads which has

affected the employment at Coats

American in Rossville, Georgia.

In order for the Department to issue

a worker group certification, all of the

group eligibility requirements of Section

222 of the Trade Act must be met.

Review of the investigation findings

show that criterion (3) was not met.

Imports of sewing threads did not

contribute to the decline in sales,

production, and employment at the

Rossville, Georgia facility. Coats

American did move production of

sewing threads to Mexico, but the

sewing threads being produced in

Mexico are not being imported into the

United States.

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.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of

October 1997.

Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment

Assistance.

Elbeco, Incorporated; City Shirt

Company, Frackville, PA and

Meyersdale Manufacturing,

Meyersdale, Pennsylvania; 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

30, 1997 applicable to all workers of

City Shirt Company, Frackville,

Pennsylvania. The notice was published

in the Federal Register on September 4,

1997 (62 FR 46775).

At the request of the petitioner, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

investigation findings show that Elbeco,

Incorporated of Reading, Pennsylvania

is the parent firm of City Shirt

Company, Frackville, Pennsylvania and

Meyersdale Manufacturing, Meyersdale,

Pennsylvania. The company reports that

worker separation have occurred at

Meyersdale Manufacturing, Meyersdale,

Pennsylvania. The workers are engaged

in employment related to the

production of men’s and women’s

uniform shirts.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to cover

workers at Meyersdale Manufacturing,

Meyersdale, Pennsylvania.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Elbeco, Incorporated adversely affected

by increased imports.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,550 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Elbeco, Incorporated, City

Shirt Company, Frackville, Pennsylvania

(TA–W–33,550), and Meyersdale

Manufacturing, Meyersdale, Pennsylvania

(TA–W–33,550A) who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after May 22, 1996, are eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 24th day of

October, 1997.

Grant D. Beale,

Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment

Assistance.

Gulton Graphic Instruments, East

Greenwich, Rhode Island; Notice of

Revised Determination on Reopening

On August 25, 1997, the Department

issued a Negative Determination

Regarding Eligibility to apply for worker

adjustment assistance, applicable to

workers and former workers of Gulton

Graphic Instruments located in East

Greenwich, Rhode Island. The notice

was published in the Federal Register

on September 17, 1997 (62 FR 48887).

By letter of September 17, 1997, the

company requested administrative

reconsideration regarding the

Department’s denial. New information

provided by Gulton Graphic shows that

company imports of temperature

controllers increased during the time

period relevant to the investigation.

Workers at the subject firm are

engaged in employment related to the

production of data measuring and

recording devices. The workers are not

separately identifiable by product line.

Sales, production and employment at

the East Greenwich production facility

declined during the relevant time

period.

Conclusion

After careful review of the additional

facts obtained on reopening, I conclude

that increased imports of articles like or

directly competitive with data

measuring and recording devices,

contributed importantly to the declines

in sales or production and to the total

or partial separation of workers of

Gulton Graphic Instruments, East

Greenwich, Rhode Island. In accordance

with the provisions of the Act, I make

the following certification:

All workers of Gulton Graphic Instruments,

East Greenwich, Rhode Island, who became

totally or partially separated from

employment on or after June 26, 1996 are

eligible to apply for worker adjustment

assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act

of 1974.
