DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-32,469]


Wallace & Tiernan, Incorporated Belleville, NJ; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reopening

    On July 22, 1996, the Department, on its own motion, reopened its 
investigation for the former workers of the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination on 
July 3, 1996, because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group 
Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met for workers at 
the subject firm. The denial notice will soon be published in the 
Federal Register.
    The workers at Wallace & Tiernan, Incorporated located in 
Belleville, New Jersey produced hydraulic diaphragm pumps, diaphragm 
metering pumps and gravimetric and volumetric belt feeders. The workers 
are not separately identifiable by product line. The company official 
has provided new information regarding company imports of pumps and 
chemical feeders. Findings on reopening show that the company has 
increased its reliance on imports of pumps and chemical feeders from 
Wallace & Tiernan's foreign operations. All workers will be separated 
from employment at the Belleville production facility when the subject 
firm closes in September 1996.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with pumps and chemical feeders produced by the subject 
firm contributed importantly to the declines in sales 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 Wallace & Tiernan, Inc., Belleville, New Jersey, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after May 29, 1995, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of July 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
