Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 119 / Monday, June 22, 1998 / Notices 33953

The subject firm closed in March of

1997. The Department has been unable

to locate principals of the firm or

otherwise obtain information to reach a

determination on worker eligibility.

Consequently, further investigation in

this case would serve no purpose, and

the investigation has been terminated.

B.E.L.-Tronics Limited, a/k/a BELLTronics LLC, Covington, Georgia;

Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a Notice of

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on July 25, 1997, applicable

to workers of B.E.L.-Tronics Limited

located in Covington, Georgia. The

notice was published in the Federal

Register on September 4, 1997 (62 FR

46775).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm engaged

in employment related to the

production of swingmates (circuit board

assemblies). New information provided

by the State shows that on January 1,

1998, the subject firm began operating

under the name BEL-Tronics LLC.

Consequently, some of the workers

separated from employment at the

Covington facility have had their wages

reported under the unemployment

insurance (US) tax account for BELTronics LLC.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

the B.E.L.-Tronics Limited, Covington,

Georgia plant adversely affected by

increased imports. Accordingly, the

Department is amending the

certification to reflect that B.E.L.-

Tronics Limited is also known as BELTronics LLC.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,591 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of B.E.L.-Tronics Limited, also

known as BEL-Tronics LLC, Covington,

Georgia engaged in employment related to

the production of swingmates (circuit board

assemblies) who became totally or partially

separated from employment on or after June

10, 1996 through July 25, 1999, are eligible

to apply for adjustment assistance under

Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 10th day

of June 1998.

Doehler-Jarvis, Toledo, OH; Notice of

Negative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By application dated May 5, 1998, the

United Automobile, Aerospace,

Agricultural Implement Workers of

America (UAW), Local 1058, 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 applicable to workers of the

subject firm located in Toledo, Ohio,

was signed on April 8, 1998 and

published in the Federal Register on

May 6, 1998 (63 FR 25081).

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 TAA petition, filed on behalf of

workers of Doehler-Jarvis, Toledo, Ohio,

producing transmission cases was

denied based on the finding that the

‘‘contributed importantly’’ group

eligibility requirement of Section 222(3)

of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended,

was not met. The ‘‘contributed

importantly’’ test is generally

demonstrated through a survey of the

workers’ firm’s customers. None of the

Doehler-Jarvis customers reported

increased import purchases while

decreasing purchases of transmission

cases from the Toledo plant.

In support of their application for

reconsideration, the UAW Local 1058

submitted documents concerning a

foreign company that will supply

transmission cases to one of the major

Doehler-Jarvis customers. A follow-up

with this customer confirms that there

were no imports of transmission cases

during the time period relevant to the

petition investigation. The customer

reported that once Doehler-Jarvis made

the announcement to close the Toledo

production facility, they were required

to pursue other suppliers of

transmission cases.

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 decisions. Accordingly,

the application is denied.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 10th day

of June 1998.

Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment

Assistance.
