United Technologies Automotive

Columbus, Mississippi; Notice of

Negative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By application postmarked April 20,

1998, the International Union of

Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine

and Furniture Workers (IUE), Local 794,

requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department’s

negative determination regarding

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment

Assistance (TAA), applicable to workers

and former workers of the subject firm.

The denial notice was signed on March

5, 1998, and published in the Federal

Register on March 23, 1998 (63 FR

13878).

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 IUE Local 794 asserts that in

December 1996, the production of

starter motors and commercial starter

motors was shifted from the Columbus,

Mississippi plant to Mexico. The IUE

Local 794 states that as a result of that

shift in production, 225 workers were

separated from employment in

December 1996, and add that the TAA

petition investigation did not include

the workers producing these articles.
