Union Camp Corporation Retail Packaging of the Flexible Packaging 
Division, Savannah, Georgia; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On May 11, 1995, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former 
workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on May 24, 1995 (60 FR 27562).
    Investigation findings show that the workers produced retail paper 
bags. All production ceased in December 1994. The workers were denied 
TAA because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group 
Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met. This test is 
generally determined through a survey of the workers' firm's major 
declining customers.
    The union submitted additional information showing that the plant 
closed because of increased import competition of foreign made plastic 
bags.
    New findings on reconsideration show that U.S. imports of both 
paper and plastic bags increased in 1994 compared to 1993.
    Further findings on reconsideration show that a major declining 
customer purchased imports of plastic bags while decreasing its 
purchases from the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the Union Camp Corporation 
workers at the Retail Packaging of the Flexible Packaging Division in 
Savannah, Georgia were adversely affected by increased imports of 
articles like or directly competitive with retail paper bags produced 
at the subject firm.

    ``All workers of Union Camp Corporation, Retail Packaging of the 
Flexible Packaging Division, Savannah, Georgia who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after January 16, 1994 are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 29th day of June 1995.

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