65096 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 10, 1997 / Notices

Company shows that company sales

declined during the time period relevant

to the investigation.

Workers at the subject firm are

engaged in employment related to the

exploration and production of crude oil

and natural gas. The workers are not

separately identifiable by product line.

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 U.S. sales decreased as a result of

imports during the relevant time period

and, thus the company made a strategic

business decision to relocate to

Houston, Texas in order to pursue

foreign production of oil and gas which

resulted in workers being dislocated in

Jackson, Michigan.

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.

Revised data from the subject firm

does indicate a minor decline in

domestic sales. However,

notwithstanding these minor declines in

domestic sales, the separations resulted

from a corporate decision to transfer

corporate headquarters within the U.S.

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.
