Snap-Tite, Incorporated, Quick

Disconnect Division, Union City,

Pennsylvania; Notice of Affirmative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By letter of May 20, 1997, a company

representative requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Certification Regarding

Eligibility to Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance for workers of

the subject firm. The certification was

signed on March 25, 1997.

The company representative presents

evidence that merits the Department’s

review of the certification.

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.
