Scab Rock Feeders, Incorporated; Othello, WA; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On December 7, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance for former workers of the subject 
firm. This notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    Investigation findings show that Scab Rock Feeders, Inc., ceased 
operations in August 1994, when all workers were laid off.
    The workers were previously certified for trade adjustment 
assistance (TAA) on July 28, 1989 under petition TA-W-23,045 which was 
published in the Federal Register on August 22, 1989 (54 FR 34834).
    On reconsideration, it was found that the workers were negatively 
impacted by imported Canadian cattle. The Canadian government 
subsidizes their cattle industry.
    New findings on reconsideration show that a major declining 
customer decreased its business with the subject firm because of 
increased import purchases of Canadian cattle.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers at Scab Rock Feeders, 
Othello, Washington were adversely affected by increased imports of 
articles like or directly competitive with that produced at Scab Rock 
Feeders in Othello, Washington.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
revised certification for the Scab Rock Feeders, Inc., workers in 
Othello, Washington.
    ``All workers of Scab Rock Feeders, Inc., Othello, Washington who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
December 8, 1993 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC., this 9th day of December 1994.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
