DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-29,752]


IBM Corporation, East Fishkill Facility, Hopewell, New York; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening

    On June 15, 1995, the Department, on its own motion, reopened its 
investigation for the former workers of the subject firm engaged in the 
production of thermal conduction modules and component parts, other 
than chips.
    On August 10, 1994, the Department of Labor issued a Notice of 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance applicable to all workers of IBM Corporation, East Fishkill 
Facility, Hopewell Junction, New York. The workers of the subject firm 
engaged in the production of chips were certified eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under the Trade Act. The workers of the subject 
firm engaged in the production of thermal conduction modules were 
denied because the criterion (3) of the Trade Act Requirements had not 
been met. The notice was published in the Federal Register on August 
25, 1994 (59 FR 43867).
    On March 23, 1995, the Department issued a revised determination 
for workers of IBM's Large Scale Computing Division (LSCD) in 
Poughkeepsie, New York, finding workers eligible to apply for worker 
adjustment assistance under petition TA-W-29,743. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on April 5, 1995 (60 FR 17371).
    New findings show that the thermal conduction modules and component 
parts, other than chips, produced by the workers of IBM Corporation, 
East Fishkill Facility, Hopewell Junction, New York supported the 
production at IBM's LSCD operations.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with thermal conduction modules and component parts 
produced at IBM Corporation, East Fishkill Facility, Hopewell Junction, 
New York contributed importantly to the decline in sales or production 
and to the total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. 
In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the 
following revised determination:


    ``All workers of IBM Corporation, East Fishkill Facility, 
Hopewell Junction, New York, engaged in employment related to the 
production of chips, thermal conduction modules and component parts 
produced at IBM Corporation, East Fishkill Facility, Hopewell 
Junction, New York who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after April 8, 1993 are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
