prison, proposals may include one or a

combination of targets, including

visitors, vendors, volunteers, staff and

inmates working in outside contact

areas. Outcomes may be measured based

on changes in pre- and post-inmate drug

testing results, along with other

measurements, such as reduced inmate

on staff and inmate on inmate assaults.

NIC is seeking a geographic and

programmatic diversity which allows

for duplication of results, befitting a

demonstration project of this nature.

NIC is also seeking projects that can be

replicated in different jurisdictions if

proven successful, as well as projects

that show a specific added value to

current policies and procedures. In this

regard, linkages to other programs (e.g.,

between detection and treatment) will

be an important part of a successful

project.

Authority: Pub. L. 93–415.

Funds Available: Funding for this

project is estimated at approximately

(direct and indirect costs). An

individual project can not exceed three

years in length.

Funds can not be used for

construction, or to acquire or build real

property.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

[TA–W–34,475; NAFTA–02331]

Ocean Beauty, Astoria, Oregon; Notice

of Negative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By application dated May 27, 1998,

the company and the United Food and

Commercial Workers Local 555

requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department’s

negative determination regarding

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment

Assistance (TAA) and NAFTATransitional Adjustment Assistance

(NAFTA–TAA), applicable to workers

and former workers of the subject firm.

The denial notices applicable to workers

of the subject firm located in Astoria,

Oregon, were signed on May 12, 1998.

The TAA and NAFTA–TAA decisions

were published in the Federal Register

on June 22, 1998 (63 FR 33958) and May

29, 1998 (63 FR 29431), respectively.

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 TAT petition, filed on behalf of

workers of Ocean Beauty, Astoria,

Oregon, producing processed fish was

denied because 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 Ocean Beauty customers

responding to the survey reported

purchases of imported processed fish

during the relevant time period (1997–

1998).

The NAFTA–TAA petition for the

same worker group was denied because

criteria (3) and (4) of the group

eligibility requirements in paragraph

(a)(1) of Section 250 of the Trade Act,

as amended, were not met. There were

no company or customer imports of

processed fish from Mexico or Canada,

nor was there a shift in production from

the workers’ firm to Mexico or Canada.

In support of their application for

reconsideration, the petitioners assert

that some of the significant customers of

Ocean Beauty were not surveyed

concerning their import purchases of

raw fish. An official of Ocean Beauty

was contacted to respond to this

allegation. Ocean Beauty has confirmed

that customers identified by the

petitioners were major customers, but

they did not decrease their purchases of

processed fish from Ocean Beauty

during the relevant time period.

The petitioners provided U.S.

Department of Agriculture import data

for various fish to support their claim

that increased imports of like products

were significant enough to facilitate a

reduction in market value of the

finished product causing production

expenses to exceed sales receipts. The

Department, however, must examine the

import purchases of processed fish by

customers of the subject firm.

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, DC, this 8th day of

July, 1998.
