DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration

[TA–W–33,479]

G.E. Medical Systems Milwaukee,

Wisconsin; Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By application dated November 3,

1997, the X-Ray Lodge No. 1916 of the

International Association of Machinists

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 G.E.

Medical Systems producing medical

diagnostic imaging equipment in

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was signed on

October 9, 1997 and published in the

Federal Register on November 5, 1997

(62 FR 59882).

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 petitioners assert that products

produced by workers of the subject firm

are now being produced in foreign

countries by their suppliers and add

that a large percentage of the subject

firm sales come from the offshore

market.

The TAA petition investigation for

workers of the subject firm showed that

the criterion (2) of the Group Eligibility

requirements of Section 222 of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not

met. Sales and production at the subject

firm increased in 1996 compared to

1995 and in January-April of 1997

compared to the same time period in

1996.

The petitioner’s assertion regarding

company sales of imported diagnostic

imaging equipment was addressed in

the negative determination applicable to

workers of G.E. Medical Systems in

Milwaukee.

As specified in the group eligibility

requirements of criterion (3) of Section

222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

amended, the Department must

establish that increased imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

articles produced at the workers’ firm,

contributed to worker separations.

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, D.C. this 11th day

of December 1997.

Grant D. Beale,

Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment

Assistance.
