Notice of Determinations Regarding

Eligibility to Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance and NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the

Department of Labor herein presents

summaries of determinations regarding

eligibility to apply for trade adjustment

assistance for workers (TA–W) issued

during the period of December, 1997

and January, 1998.

In order for an affirmative

determination to be made and a

certification of eligibility to apply for

worker adjustment assistance to be

issued, each of the group eligibility

requirements of Section 222 of the Act

must be met.

(1) That a significant number or

proportion of the workers in the

workers’ firm, or an appropriate

subdivision thereof, have become totally

or partially separated,

(2) That sales or production, or both,

of the firm or subdivision have

decreased absolutely, and

(3) That increases of imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

articles produced by the firm or

appropriate subdivision have

contributed importantly to the

separations, or threat thereof, and to the

absolute decline in sales or production.

Negative Determinations for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In each of the following cases the

investigation revealed that criterion (3)

has not been met. A survey of customers

indicated that increased imports did not

contribute importantly to worker

separations at the firm.

TA–W–33,954 & A; Color-Clings, Inc.,

Plymouth, MN and Bloomington,

MN

TA–W–34,039; F.R. Gross Co., Inc.,

investigation revealed that the criteria

for eligibility have not been met for the

reasons specified.

TA–W–34,055; TRW/Auto Electronics

Group of North America, Switch

Product Line and Profit Center,

Auburn, NY

The predominant cause of separations

at the subject firm is the transfer of

production of switch components

abroad for assembly there. The subject

firm is importing switches at a later

stage of production, not the switch

components produced at the subject

plant.

criteria (2) has not been met. Sales or

TA–W–33,959; Electra-Sound, Inc.,

Parma, OH

TA–W–33,906; Sunbeam, Shubuta, MS

Sunbeam made a decision to transfer

production from the subject plant to

another domestic facility.

TA–W–33,796; Drummond Co., Inc.,

Birmingham, AL

U.S. imports of coal were negligible in

1996 and in January through June 1997.

TA–W–33,946; Chevron USA Production

Co. A Div. of Chevron USA, Inc.,

(‘‘CPDN’’), Headquartered in

Houston, TX & Operating at

Various Locations in the Following

States: A; AL, B; CA, C; CO, D; LA,

E; MS, F; NM, G; OK, H; TX, I; UT,

J; WY

The investigation revealed that

criteria (2) and criteria (3) have not been

met. Sales or production did not decline

during the relevant period as required

for certification. Increases of imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

articles produced by the firm or

appropriate subdivision have not

contributed importantly to the

separations or threat thereof, and the

absolute decline in sales or production.

TA–W–34,047; John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,

Wiley Law Publications, Colorado

Springs, CO

A change in corporate ownership of

this division resulted in a transfer to

other domestic locations of the

publishing of legal texts and caused the

separations of workers at the subject

facility.

TA–W–33,974; Lightalarms Electronic

Corp., Baldwin, NY

The decline in employment at the

subject firm is attributed to a shift in

production to another location in St.

Matthews, S.C. The Operation is being

consolidated with two other affiliated

facilities in which domestic company

employment will increase.
