Rayonier, Incorporated, Port Angeles

Mill, Port Angeles, WA; Notice of

Affirmative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By letter of January 20, 1997, a

company official requested

administrative reconsideration of the

Department of Labor’s Notices of

Negative Determination Regarding

Eligibility to Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistant (TA–W–32,962)

and NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment

Assistance (NAFTA–01337) for workers

of the subject firm. The denial notice for

TA–W–32,608 was signed on December

27, 1996, and published in the Federal

Register on February 3, 1997 (52 FR

5049). The denial notice for NAFTA–

01337 was signed on December 18,

1996, and published in the Federal

Register on December 31, 1996 (61 FR

69110).

The petitioner presents evidence that

the Department’s investigation was

incomplete.

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.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 4th day of

February 1997.

Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company,

Notice of Termination of Certification

This notice terminates the

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply For Worker Adjustment

Assistance issued by the Department on

May 31, 1996, applicable to workers of

Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company,

Industrial Tool Division located in

Utica, New York. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

June 20, 1996 (61 FR 31553).

The Department, on its own motion,

reviewed the worker certification.

Findings show that the workers

produced handheld pneumatically

powered construction and industrial

tools. Workers producing hammers were

certified eligible to apply for adjustment

assistance, while workers producing

industrial tools were denied.

On January 30, 1997, the Department

issued a certification of eligibility

applicable to all workers of Chicago

Pneumatic Tool Company in Utica, New

York, TA–W–32,914. Workers separated

from employment with the subject firm

on or after October 16, 1995 until

January 30, 1999, are eligible to apply

for worker adjustment assistance

program benefits.

Based on this new information, the

Department is terminating the
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 30 / Thursday, February 13, 1997 / Notices 6807

certification for petition number TA–W–

32,090. Further coverage for workers

under this certification would serve no

purpose, and the certification has been

terminated.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 6th day of

February 1997.
