DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA--00633]


General Electric Company, GE Transportation Systems--Erie, Erie, 
Pennsylvania; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 21, 1995, the Department issued a Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to all workers of General Electric 
Company, GE Transportation Systems located in Erie, Pennsylvania. The 
denial notice was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 1995 
(60 FR 61711).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
because criteria (3) and (4) of the Eligibility Requirements of Section 
250 of the Trade Act, as amended, were not met for workers at the 
subject firm. There was no shift in production from General Electric 
Company of locomotives or locomotive parts from Mexico or Canada, nor 
did the subject firm import these products from Mexico or Canada.
    Based on new information received from counsel for the petitioners, 
the department, on its own motion, reviewed the findings of the 
investigation. The petitioning workers were engaged in the production 
of locomotives and locomotive parts. New findings show that beginning 
in July 1995, the production of motor coils was shifted from the 
subject firm's Erie, Pennsylvania production facility to Mexico.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reopening, 
I conclude that there was a shift in production from the workers' firm 
to Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive with those 
produced by the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the 
Act, I make the following revised determination:

    ``All workers of General Electric Company, GE Transportation 
Systems, Erie, Pennsylvania, engaged in the production of motor 
coils who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after October 2, 1994, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
    Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of October 1996.

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