Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration; 
Frigidaire Co., Connersville, IN

    By an application dated February 16, 1994, the company and Local 
#151 of the United Auto Workers (UAW) requested administrative 
reconsideration of the subject petition for trade adjustment 
assistance, TAA. The denial notice was published in the Federal 
Register on February 14, 1994 (59 FR 6963).
    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 produce laundry 
appliance and dishwashers.
    The Department's denial was based on the fact that the decreased 
sales or production requirement of the Group Eligibility Requirements 
of the Trade Act was not met. Sales and production increased in 1993 
compared to 1992.
    The application for reconsideration states that the firm met the 
decreased sales and production requirement in early 1994 when 
production ceased and all production workers were separated from 
employment.
    Investigation findings show that the Department's denial was based 
on sales and production data through November 1993. The cessation of 
production in 1994 is outside the Department's investigation on the 
above petition. The Department's denial notice stated that the 
petitioners may petition again for trade adjustment assistance if 
conditions change.

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 11th day of March 1994.
Stephen A. Wandner,
Deputy Director, Office of Legislation & Actuarial Service, 
Unemployment Insurance Service.
