Elizabeth Webbing, Inc. Central Falls,

RI; Notice of Revised Determination on

Reconsideration

On November 13, 2001, the

Department issued an Affirmative

Determination Regarding Application

on Reconsideration applicable to

workers and former workers of the

subject firm. The notice was published

in the Federal Register on December 5,

2001 (66 FR 63263).

On June 25, 2001 the Department

initially denied TAA to workers of

Elizabeth Webbing, Inc., Central Falls,

Rhode Island producing nylon and

polyester webbing because the

‘‘contributed importantly’’ group

eligibility requirement of section 222 of

the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was

not met.

On reconsideration, the department

surveyed additional customers of the

subject plant regarding their purchases

of nylon and polyester webbing during

the relevant period. The survey revealed

that customers increased their imports

of nylon and polyester webbing, while

decreasing their purchases from the

subject plant during the relevant period.

Conclusion

After careful review of the additional

facts obtained on reconsideration, I

conclude that increased imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

nylon and polyester webbing,

contributed importantly to the declines

in sales or production and to the total

or partial separation of workers of

Elizabeth Webbing, Inc., Central Falls,

Rhode Island. In accordance with the

provisions of the Act, I make the

following certification:

All workers of Elizabeth Webbing, Inc.,

Central Falls, Rhode Island who became

totally or partially separated from

employment on or after April 9, 2000 through

two years of this certification, are eligible to

apply for adjustment assistance under section

223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Glenshaw Glass Company, Inc.

Glenshaw, PA; Notice of Affirmative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By letter of June 11, 2001, the workers

requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance, petition TA–W–38,921. The

denial notice was signed on May 15,

2001 and published in the Federal

Register on May 25, 2001 (66 FR 28928).

The Department has reviewed the

request for reconsideration and has

determined that the Department will

examine the petitioner’s allegation

claiming that the parent customer is

importing glass containers similar to

what the subject plant produced and

selling the glass containers to the

subject firm’s customer base.

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.

Steag Hamatech, Inc., Saco, ME;

Notice of Revised Determination on

Reconsideration

By letter of July 9, 2001, the company,

requested administrative

reconsideration regrading the

Department’s Negative Determination

Regarding Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance,

applicable to the workers of the subject

firm.

The initial investigation resulted in a

negative determination issued on May

21, 2001, based on the finding that the

‘‘contributed importantly;’’ group

eligibility requirement of section 222(3)

of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended,

was not met. The investigation revealed

that imports did not contribute

importantly to worker separations at the

firm. A major portion of production was

for the export market. The reason for the

separations at the subject firm was the

transfer of production aboard. The

denial notice was published in the

Federal Register on June 8, 2001 (66 FR

30947).

To support the request for

reconsideration, the company provided

additional information clarifying how

the company was impacted by imported

products like and directly competitive

with what was produced at the subject

firm.

The company indicated that they

were the only domestic manufacturer of

this type of equipment (referred to as

replication equipment) and that the

machinery is a type of capital

equipment, which normally is not

purchased on an annual basis. The

domestic market accounted for a
