66432 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 26, 2001 / Notices

to a petition filed on behalf of workers

at Besser Lithibar, Holland, Michigan.

Workers produce automated material

handling equipment.

A negative determination on an

identical petition regarding the same

worker group was issued on August 31,

2001. Consequently, further

investigation in this case would serve

no purpose, and the investigation has

been terminated.

Signed in Washington, DC this 12th day of

December, 2001.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade

Adjustment Assistance.

Collis, Inc., Elizabethtown, KY; Notice

of Affirmative Determination Regarding

Application for Reconsideration

By letter of August 30, 2001 the

United Steelworkers of America, AFL–

CIO–CLC, District 8 requested

administrative reconsideration of the

Department of Labor’s Notice of

negative Determination Regarding

Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance.

The denial notice was signed on August

8, 2001 and published in the Federal

Register on August 23, 2001 (66 FR

44378).

The petitioner presented additional

information that appears to warrant

additional investigation. The

information provided by the petitioner

shows that a portion of plant production

may have been shifted to Mexico. The

information further shows the

possibility of increased company

imports from Mexico contributing

importantly to the layoffs at the subject

plant.

Conclusion

After careful review of the

application, I conclude that the claim is

of sufficient weight to justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. The application

is, therefore, granted.

Signed at Washington, DC this 17th day of

December 2001.
