Venus Fashions, Incorporated,

Hoboken, New Jersey; Notice of

Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade

Act of 1974, an investigation was

initiated on November 28, 1994 in

response to a worker petition which was

filed on behalf of workers at Venus

Fashions, Incorporated, Hoboken, New

Jersey.

All workers were separated from the

subject firm more than one year prior to

the date of the petition. Section 223 of

the Act specifies that no certification

may apply to any worker whose last

separation occurred more than one year

before the date of the petition.

Consequently, further investigation in

this case would serve no purpose, and

the investigation has been terminated.

Xerox Corporation, Canadian, Latin

American Manufacturing Organization,

Pittsford, New York; Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By an application dated January 26,

1995, one of the petitioners requested

administrative reconsideration of the

subject petition for trade adjustment

assistance, TAA. The denial notice was

issued on January 12, 1995 and

published in the Federal Register on

February 10, 1995 (60 FR 8061).

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.

Investigation findings show that the

workers of Canadian Latin American

Manufacturing Organization (CLAMO)

of Xerox Corporation in Pittsford, New

York do not produce an article within

the meaning of the Trade Act. The

workers instead perform engineering

and support services for articles

produced overseas.

Only in very limited circumstances

are service workers certified for TAA,

namely, the worker separations must be

caused by a reduced demand for their

services from a parent or controlling

firm or subdivision whose workers

produce an article and who are

currently under a certification for TAA.

(Emphasis supplied). These conditions

were not met for the CLAMO workers of

Xerox in Pittsford, New York.

The workers at the Office of

Document Products in Henrietta, New

York were certified because their

services were in direct support of the

production done at Xerox’ Webster,

New York plant whose workers were

certified under petition TA–W–29,744.

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

produced an article and experienced a

decline in sales or production and

employment as a result of increased

imports of like or directly competitive

products.

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 22nd day

of February, 1995.
