Affirmative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By letter of November 13, 1995, the

petitioner requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance for workers of the subject

firm. The denial notice was signed on

October 13, 1995 and published in the

Federal Register on October 27, 1995

(60 FR 55063).

The petitioner presents evidence that

the subject firm shifted production to a

foreign owned facility.

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.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 30th day

of November 1995.

At the request of the State designee,

the Department has reviewed the subject

The intent of the Department’s

printed circuit boards and all workers

engaged in the inspection operation of

the printed circuit board assemblies at

Lockheed Martin, Ocean, Radar &

Sensor Systems Division located in

Utica, New York that were adversely

affected by increased imports from

Canada or Mexico and a shift in

production of the inspection operation

to Mexico, respectively.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–00634 is hereby issued as

follows:

‘‘All workers engaged in the production of

printed circuit boards and all workers

engaged in the inspection operation of the
