EFR Corporation, Everett, WA; Notice

of Negative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By an application dated January 9,

1995, a former company official

requested administrative

reconsideration of the subject petition

for transitional adjustment assistance

(NAFTA–TAA). The denial notice was

issued on December 12, 1994 and

published in the Federal Register on

January 3, 1995 (60 FR 149).

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
11122 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 40 / Wednesday, March 1, 1995 / Notices

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.

Signed at Washington, D.C., this 16th day

of February, 1995.
