Footwear Management Co.; Amended

Certification Regarding Eligibility To

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance

In the matter of: TA–W–30,545 Nocona

Boot Company, Nocona, Texas; TA–W–

30,545A Tony Lama Division, El Paso, Texas;

A/K/A Justin Management Company, El Paso,

Texas; TA–W–30,545B Justin Boot Company,

Fort Worth, Texas; TA–W–30,545C Justin

Boot Company, Cassville, Missouri; TA–W–

30,545D Justin Boot Company, Sarcoxie,

Missouri; and TA–W–30,545E Justin Boot

Company, Carthage, Missouri.

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the

Department of Labor issued an

Amended Certification of Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on February 9, 1995,

applicable to all workers at the subject

firm. The amended notice was

published in the Federal Register on

February 17, 1995 (60 FR 9409).

New information received from the

company show that some of the workers

at the Tony Lama Division, El Paso,

Texas, had their unemployment

insurance (UI) taxes paid to Justin

Management Company.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to properly

reflect this matter.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–30,545 is hereby issued as

follows:

‘‘All workers of Footwear Management

Company in the following divisions: Tony

Lama Division, El Paso, Texas, a/k/a Justin

Management Company, El Paso, Texas; Justin

Boot Company, Fort Worth, Texas; Cassville,

Missouri; Sarcoxie, Missouri; and Carthage

Missouri and the Nocona Boot Company in

Nocona, Texas who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after November 29, 1993 are eligible to apply

for adjustment assistance under Section 223

of the Trade Act of 1974.’’

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 6th day of

April 1995.

BILLING CODE 4510–30–M

[NAFTA—00340]

Leland Electrosystems, Inc., Erie, PA;

Negative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By an application postmarked March

24, 1995, the petitioners requested

administrative reconsideration of the

subject petition for transitional

adjustment assistance (NAFTA–TAA).

The denial notice was issued on

February 27, 1995 and will soon be

published in the Federal Register.

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.

The findings show that the workers

produced aerospace spare parts for

various electrical starters, motors and

generators for the aerospace industry.

The subject plant closed on January 11,

1995 as a result of an eviction notice

from the landlord. All production was

transferred to another domestic

corporate facility in Ohio. A domestic

transfer of production would not form a

basis for a worker group certification.

The Department’s denial was based

on the fact that there was no shift in

production from the workers’ firm to

Mexico or Canada, nor did the subject

firm import aerospace parts from

Mexico or Canada. The Department’s

survey also revealed that the customer

imports from Mexico or Canada did not

contribute importantly to worker

separations at the firm.

On further review the findings show

that the ‘‘dominant cause’’ for the

worker separations was the closing

down of the subject facility resulting

from the eviction notice.

Petitioners allege a decline in sales

and orders in overseas markets, v.g.

Canada, England, Scotland, Singapore

and China. A decline in export sales and

orders would not form a basis for a

worker group certification.

Petitioners also name a customer with

facilities in Mexico and Puerto Rico that

had declining purchases from the

subject firm. The findings show that the

named customer was a very small

customer of the subject firm in the

relevant time periods. The named

customer accounted for less than onehalf of one percent of Leland’s sales in

each of the relevant periods. Further,

shipments from Puerto Rico are not

considered imports as Puerto Rico is

within the U.S. Custom Trade Zone.

The workers were also denied trade

adjustment assistance under petition

TA–W–30,677.

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

April, 1995.

Services, Office of Trade Adjustment

Assistance.
