[Federal Register Volume 59, Number 130 (Friday, July 8, 1994)] [Unknown Section] [Page 0] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 94-16540] [[Page Unknown]] [Federal Register: July 8, 1994] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR [TA-W-29,418] Rohr, Inc., Chula Vista, CA; Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration By an application postmarked May 21, 1994, Local #755 of the Machinists Union (IAM) requested administrative reconsideration of the subject petition for trade adjustment assistance. The denial notice was signed on April 21, 1994 and published in the Federal Register on May 11, 1994 (59 FR 24482) 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 workers of Rohr, Inc., in Chula Vista, California produce aircraft engine nacelle systems and components. The union claims that the production of engine mounts and cascades was transferred overseas. Investigation findings show that, with the exception of a few spares which account for a negligible portion of current production, engine mounts were outsourced to Singapore and other manufacturers in the United States in 1991. This transfer is beyond the period applicable to the petition. Section 223(b)(1) of the Trade Act does not permit the certification of workers who were laid off prior to one year of the date of the petition which in this case is November 18, 1993. With respect to cascades, the findings show that they haven't been produced in Chula Vista for some eight to ten years. Further, company officials indicated that no production workers were laid off because of the production transfer of engine mounts and cascades to offshore producers. Sufficient work was available at Chula Vista so as not to negatively impact employees. 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 28th day of June 1994. Stephen A. Wandner, Deputy Director, Office of Legislation & Actuarial Service, Unemployment Insurance Service. [FR Doc. 94-16540 Filed 7-7-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-M
