DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-29,743]


IBM Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 3, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the former 
workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on October 14, 1994 (59 FR 52193).
    The Department expanded its investigation to include the entire 
Large Scale Computing Division (LSCD) at Poughkeepsie, New York where 
mainframe computers are produced.
    Investigation findings show that sales of computer hardware 
declined in FY 1993 compared to FY 1992 and in the year to date 3rd 
quarter of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993. The findings on 
reconsideration show substantial worker separations in 1993 and in 
1994.
    Other findings on reconsideration show that IBM lost market share 
of mainframe processors and processor subassemblies and components in 
1994.
    U.S. imports of automatic data processing equipment and parts 
increased in the latest 12 month period ending in February 1994 
compared to the same period in 1993.
    Other IBM certifications are for workers at Rochester, Minnesota 
(TA-W-29,026) computer storage equipment; (TA-W-30,176) computers; at 
Endicott, New York (TA-W-30,258) mainframe computer hardware and 
software and (TA-W-30,397) printed circuit boards and at Hopewell 
Junction, New York (TA-W-29,752) computer chips.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that workers at IBM Poughkeepsie, New 
York were adversely affected by increased imports of articles that are 
like or directly competitive with the LSCD mainframes produced at 
Poughkeepsie, New York. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I 
make the following revised determination for workers of IBM 
Corporation, Poughkeepsie, New York.

    All workers of IBM Corporation in Poughkeepsie, New York who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 31, 1993 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of March, 1995.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manger, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
