Inland Steel Company, East Chicago,

IN; Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on

December 1, 1995, applicable to all

workers at Inland Steel Company,

located in East Chicago, Indiana. The

notice will soon be published in the

Federal Register.

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. Findings

show that only the workers involved in

the production of carbon and high

strength low alloy steel plates were the

subject of the investigation.

Accordingly, the Department is limiting

its certification to only those workers at

Inland Steel, East Chicago, Indiana

engaged in the production of carbon and

high strength low alloy steel plates.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include any and all

workers affected by increased imports,

and separated as a result of the decline

in sales or production of carbon and

high strength low alloy steel plates

produced at Inland Steel Company.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–31, 643, is hereby issued as

follows:

‘‘All workers of Inland Steel Company,

East Chicago, Indiana, engaged in

employment related to the production of

carbon and high strength low alloy steel plate

who became totally or partially separated

from employment on or after November 7,

1994 are eligible to apply for adjustment

assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act

of 1974.’’

Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of

December 1995.

Acting Program Manager, Policy and

Reemployment Services, Office of Trade

Simonds Industries, Incorporated;

Newcomerstown, OH; Notice of

Revised Determination on

Reconsideration

The Department, on its own motion,

has reconsidered its negative

determination in Former Employees of

United States Steel Workers of America,

Locals 2391 & 3225 v. Robert Reich, No.

94–02–00125, U.S. Court of

International Trade. As a result of this

reconsideration, the Department is now

certifying the workers of Simonds

Industries, Incorporated (‘‘Simonds’’), in

Newcomerstown, Ohio, as eligible to

apply for trade adjustment assistance

under Section 223 of the Trade Act of

1974.

The Department’s December 3, 1993,

negative determination for workers of

the subject firm was issued on the basis

that the survey of Simonds customers

showed increased imports by

respondents with reduced purchases

from the subject firm were not

important in relation to the sales decline

during the periods under investigation.

New investigation findings, however,

show that Simonds’ major declining

customers in 1991 to 1992, and in the

January-June 1992–1993 time periods

increased their reliance on imports of

industrial files. The declining

customers’ purchases of imported

industrial files as a percent of the

Simonds’ sales decline was negligible

from 1991 to 1992, but increased

significantly in January-June 1993

compared to January-June 1992.

Other new findings in the

investigation show that while the value

of aggregate U.S. imports of files and

rasps, including rotary type declined in

1992 compared to 1991 and in the

twelve-month period ending June 1993

compared to the same time period in

1992, the quantity of imports increased.

Conclusion

After careful review of the additional

facts obtained on reconsideration, it is

concluded that increased imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

industrial files produced at Simonds

Industries, Incorporated,

Newcomerstown, Ohio contributed

importantly to the decline in sales or

production and to the total or partial

separation of workers at subject firm. In

accordance with the provisions of the

Trade Act of 1974, I make the following

revised determination:

‘‘All workers of Simonds Industries,

Incorporated, Newcomerstown, Ohio who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after September 8, 1992

are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance

under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.’’

December 1995.
