BASF Corporation; Polyester Filament

Department, Lowland, Tennessee;

Revocation of Certification

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification for workers of the Polyester

Filament Department of the subject firm

on January 26, 1995. The Notice has not

as yet been published in the Federal

Register.

The Department amended an earlier

certification for BASF Corporation (TA–

W–30,360) to include the workers of the

polyester filament department because

they met all the worker group

requirements for certification under the

Trade Act.

Accordingly, the Department is

revoking its certification under petition

TA–W–30,682 effective this date

because the polyester filament workers

are covered under TA–W–30,360.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 3rd day of

February 1995.

The Coach Factory, Carlstadt, New

Jersey; Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade

Act of 1974, an investigation was

initiated on January 17, 1995, in

response to a worker petition which was

filed on January 17, 1995, on behalf of

workers at The Coach Factory, Carlstadt,

New Jersey.

The petitioner has requested that the

petition be withdrawn. Consequently,

further investigation in this case would

serve no purpose, and the investigation

has been terminated.

Delhi Gas Pipeline Company;

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas and

Operating in the Following States,

Texas et al.; Negative Determination

Regarding Application of

Reconsideration

After being granted a filing extension,

one of the workers with congressional

support, requested administrative

reconsideration of the subject petition

for trade adjustment assistance. The

denial notice was signed on November

14, 1994 and published in the Federal

Register on December 9, 1994 (59 FR

63822).

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 mis-interpretation of facts or of the

law justified reconsideration of the decision.

Investigation findings show that the

workers are engaged in natural gas

transportation services via pipeline.

The findings show that the Delhi Gas

Pipeline Company was established as a

common carrier (pipeline) engaged in

the transportation of natural gas for its

affiliates; and as a common carrier, the

subject firm does not own the natural

gas shipped through its pipeline.

Access to Delhi’s pipelines are open

to all shippers on a nondiscriminatory

basis. No single shipper can be granted

unduly preferential treatment, and as

such, Delhi has an ‘‘arm’s length’’

relationship with its customers.

Numerous other unaffiliated companies

and individuals are shippers on this

common carrier pipeline. Accordingly,

Delhi provides a service. Other findings

also show that sales increased in 1993

compared to 1992.

The findings show that some natural

gas liquids are produced by Delhi;

however, the amount of natural gas

liquid revenue generated to total

pipeline revenue is small.

Prices and profits are not worker

group eligibility requirements for

certification under the Trade Act. The

Trade Act was not intended to provide

TAA benefits to everyone who is in

some way affected by foreign

competition but only to those who

produce an article and experienced a

decline in sales or production and

employment and an increase in imports

of like or directly competitive products

which ‘‘contributed importantly’’ to

declines in sales or production and

employment.

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 decision. Accordingly, the

application is denied.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 3rd day of

February 1995.

INTERA Information Technologies,

Inc., Denver, Colorado; Revised

Determination on Reconsideration

On January 13, 1995, the Department

issued an Affirmative Determination

Regarding Application for

Reconsideration for the workers and

former workers of the subject firm. The

notice was published in the Federal

Register on January 27, 1995 (60 FR

5438).

New findings on reconsideration

show that the subject firm is engaged in

operations related to the exploration

and drilling for crude oil. Workers are

engaged in exploration activities in the

field for unaffiliated firms in the oil

industry.

The findings show decreased

revenues in 1994 compared to 1993 and

substantial worker separations in 1994.

U.S. imports of crude oil and natural

gas increased absolutely and relative to

domestic shipments in the first eight

months of 1994 compared to the same

period in 1993.

Conclusion

After careful consideration of the new

facts obtained on reconsideration, it is

concluded that the workers and former

workers of Intera Information

Technologies, Inc., in Denver, Colorado

were adversely affected by increased

imports of articles like or directly

competitive with crude oil.

Accordingly, in accordance with the

provisions of the Act, I make the

following certification:

All workers of Intera Information

Technologies, Inc., in Denver, Colorado who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after September 2, 1993
