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 findings show that the subject

company was set up in February 1994

and harvested logs. The partnership was

dissolved in November, 1994.

In 1994 the company cleared land and

sold the logs to one customer who did

not import logs or lumber.

The Department’s denial was based

on the fact that there was no shift in

production from the workers’ firm to

Mexico or Canada. The Department’s

survey also revealed that the customer

did not import logs or lumber from

Canada or Mexico.

The workers were also denied trade

adjustment assistance on

reconsideration under petition TA–W–

30, 483.

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.

H. Grabell & Sons, Inc., Paterson, NJ;

Notice of Revised Determination on

Reopening

On February 21, 1995, the

Department, on its own motion,

reopened its investigation for the former

workers of the subject firm. The initial

investigation resulted in a negative

determination on January 20, 1995

because the ‘‘contributed importantly’’

test of the Group Eligibility

Requirements of the Trade Act was not

met and there was no shift in

production to Mexico or Canada. The

denial notice will soon be published in

the Federal Register.

An investigation for trade adjustment

assistance under petition TA–W–30,565

resulted in a certification for workers of

H. Grabell & Sons, Inc., in Paterson,

New Jersey. The certification was issued

on February 11, 1995 and will soon be

published in the Federal Register. The

investigation revealed that the subject

firm imported lamp shades and

increased its reliance on imported lamp

shades while discontinuing lamp shade

production at Paterson, New Jersey.

Other findings show that sales and

production decreased in the relevant

periods and substantial worker

separations occurred in 1994.

Conclusion

After careful consideration of the new

facts obtained on reopening, it is

concluded that increased imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

lamp shades produced by the subject

firm contributed importantly to the

decline in production and to the total or

partial separation of workers at the

subject firm. In accordance with the

provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I

make the following revised

determination:

All workers and former workers of H.

Grabell & Sons, Inc., Paterson, New Jersey

who became totally or partially separated

from employment on or after December 8,

1993 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA

under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of

February 1995.

NAFTA—00302; Washington Public

Power Supply Systems Nuclear

Project; Amended Certification

Regarding Eligibility To Apply for

NAFTA Transitional Adjustment

Assistance

NAFTA—00302 WPN–2 Richland,

Washington

NAFTA—00302A WPN–1 Richland,

Washington

NAFTA—00302B WPN–3 Satsop,

Washington

In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 USC

2273), the Department of Labor issued a

Certification for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance on January 13,

1995, applicable to all workers of the

Washington Public Power System

(WPN–2) in Richland, Washington. The

notice will soon be published in the

Federal Register.

At the request of the company and the

workers the Department reviewed the

certification for workers of the subject

firm. New findings show that the worker

group for the Washington Public Power

Supply System Nuclear Project, WPN–2

plant, in Richland, Washington should

include workers at the WPN–1 in

Richland as well as the WPN–3 plant in

Satsop, Washington. The workers are

rotated among the three plants.

The investigation revealed that sales

declined and significant worker

separations occurred at all three plants.

A Departmental survey of Washington

Public Power’s customers showed that

the respondents decreased their

purchases for Washington Public Power

and increased their imports of electrical

energy from Canada.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers

who were adversely affected by

increased imports. Accordingly, the

Department is amending the

certification to include Washington

Public Power’s plants in Satsop,

Washington and Richland, Washington.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA—00302 is hereby issued as

follows:

‘‘All workers of the Washington Public Power

Supply System Nuclear Project at the WPN–

2 plant in Richland Washington; WPN–1

plant in Richland, Washington and the

WPN–3 plant in Satsop, Washington who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after December 8, 1993 are

eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA under

Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.’’
