[NAFTA–00737]

Anchor Glass Container, Cliffwood,

New Jersey; Notice of Revised

Determination on Reconsideration

On March 5, 1996, the Department

issued a Negative Determination

Regarding Eligibility to Apply for

NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment

Assistance (NAFTA–TAA) applicable to

all workers of Anchor Glass Container

located in Cliffwood, New Jersey. The

notice was published in the Federal

Register on March 25, 1996 (FR 61

12101)

By letter of March 22, 1996, counsel

to the petitioner, Glass, Molders,

Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers

International Union AFL–CIO and its

Local 119, requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department’s

findings.

The petitioners presented new

evidence that was not considered in the

original determination. The petitioners

claim that the introduction of Mexican

glass containers in the U.S. resulted in

a substantial loss of work for Anchor

Glass production facilities, and

ultimately contributed to worker

separations at the Cliffwood plant.

Anchor Glass Container is a subsidiary

of Vitro Glass, which has production

facilities in Mexico. The petitioners

claim that the Mexican production

facilities contributed importantly to the

declines in sales, production, and

employment at the Cliffwood plant.

Investigation findings revealed that

sales, production and employment at

the subject firm declined. The plant

ceased production in December 1995,

and the plant is scheduled to close in

April 1996. The workers were engaged

in the production of glass bottles.

New findings on reconsideration

show that the aggregate value of U.S.

imports of glass bottles from Mexico and

Canada increased annually from 1993 to

1995.

Conclusion

After careful, review of the additional

facts obtained on reconsideration, I

conclude that increased imports of glass

bottles from Mexico or Canada

contributed importantly to the declines

in sales or production and to the total

or partial separation of workers of

Anchor Glass Container, Cliffwood,

New Jersey. In accordance with the

provisions of the Act, I make the

following certification:

All workers of Anchor Glass Container,

Cliffwood, New Jersey who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after January 5, 1995 are eligible to apply for

NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of the Trade

Act of 1974.
