[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 175 (Monday, September 11, 1995)] [Notices] [Pages 47184-47185] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-22478] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR [TA-W-31,102] Rockwell Graphics Systems of Rockwell Reading, PA; Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration By an application dated July 31, 1995, the union requested administrative reconsideration of the subject petition for trade adjustment assistance. The denial notice was signed on July 25, 1995 and published in the Federal Register on August 16, 1995 (60 FR 42589). 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. Investigation findings show that the workers Manufactured commercial printing presses. The Department's denial was based on the fact that the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group Eligibility Requirements of Trade Act was not met. The ``contributed importantly'' test is generally demonstrated through a survey of the workers' firm's customers. The Department's survey revealed that none of the respondents increased their purchases of imports while decreasing their purchases from Rockwell Graphics Systems during the relevant period. District 10 of the United Steelworkers of America claim that recent competitive bids were lost to foreign firms, causing substantial loss of jobs at the Rockwell Graphics Systems Reading, Pennsylvania location. Investigation findings show that the Department surveyed the major declining customers of Rockwell Graphics Systems at Reading. Further findings show that Rockwell Graphics at [[Page 47185]] Reading did not participate in competitive bids during the relevant time period of the investigation. 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, DC this 25th day of August 1995. Victor J. Trunzo, Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. 95-22478 Filed 9-8-95; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-M
