Precision Scientific Division of Jouan

Incorporated, Chicago, Illinois, Notice

of Negative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By application dated July 9, 1997, one

of the petitioners requested

administrative reconsideration of the

Department’s negative determination

regarding worker eligibility to apply for

trade adjustment assistance. The denial

notice applicable to workers of the

subject firm located in Chicago, Illinois

was signed on June 2, 1997 and

published in the Federal Register on

June 27, 1997 (62 FR 34711).

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.

Findings of the initial investigation

showed that workers of Precision

Scientific of Chicago, Illinois were

engaged in employment related to the

manufacture of CO–2 incubators, Thelco

Ovens, vacuum pumps, and water baths.

The Department’s denial of TAA for

workers of the subject firm was based on

the fact that increases of imports of like

and directly competitive did not

contribute importantly to the worker

separations and that the subject firm

shifted production performed at the

Chicago facility to a new facility in

Winchester, Virginia.

The petitioner claims that all

equipment used in the production of

CO–2 incubators and vacuum pumps at

the Chicago facility was not transferred

to the Winchester facility but shipped to

Europe and that this equipment will be

used to manufacture like and directly

competitive articles for import into the

United States.

The company official reports that the

equipment was not shipped to Europe

but sold at auction in Chicago on

August 7, 1997. The sale was confirmed

by the company handling the auction.

Further, the shipment of equipment to

another country is not a sufficient

reason to conclude that the products
