[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 214 (Wednesday, November 5, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 59889] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-29213] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-33,655] White Cap, Incorporated, Hayward, California; Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration By application of September 17, 1997, the Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers International Union requested administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative determination regarding worker eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance, applicable to workers of the subject firm. The denial notice was signed on August 25, 1997 and was published in the Federal Register on September 17, 1997 (62 FR 48887). Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be grated 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 request for reconsideration claims that customers of the subject firm were being serviced by products made in Mexico. In order for the Department to issue a worker group certification, all of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met. Review of the investigation findings show that criterion (3) was not met. Layoffs at the subject firm were the result of the consolidation of metal bottle and jar cap production from the subject firm into two other company-owned plants located domestically. 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 27th day of October 1997. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
