DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-29,632]

 

Weldotron Corporation; Piscataway, NJ; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On September 28, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and 
former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on October 7, 1994 (59 FR 51211).
    The company submitted additional information showing that it sells 
to dealers not end users and that it has lost market share.
    Investigation findings show declines in sales, production and 
employment in fiscal year (FY) 1994 compared to FY 1993.
    Other investigation findings show that U.S. imports of packaging 
machinery increased absolutely and relative to domestic shipments in 
1993 compared to 1992 and in 1994 compared to 1993.
    Other findings show that the workers were previously determined to 
be adversely impacted by imports and certified under petition TA-W-
26,423 which expired on November 25, 1993.
    Findings on reconsideration show that Weldotron lost market share 
for its automatic sealer packaging machines to imported automatic 
sealer packaging machines in 1994 compared to 1993.
    Other findings on reconsideration show that several of the dealers 
surveyed indicated increased purchases of automatic sealer machinery 
while reducing their purchases from Weldotron in the relevant periods.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers at Weldotron 
Corporation in Piscataway, New Jersey were adversely affected by 
increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with the 
packaging equipment produced at Weldotron Corporation in Piscataway, 
New Jersey.
    ``All workers of Weldotron Corporation in Piscataway, New Jersey 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
November 25, 1993 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 10th day of December 1994.

Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
