Sunbeam Sunbeam Household Products--Cookeville Cookeville, TN; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening

    On April 14, 1997, the Department, on its own motion reviewed the 
negative determination regarding worker eligibility to apply for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance applicable to workers of the Sunbeam 
Corporation located in Cookeville, Tennessee, signed on July 3, 1996 
and published in the Federal Register on August 2, 1996 (61 FR 40454).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
because Sunbeam did not import small electric motors from Mexico or 
Canada, nor was there a shift of production to Mexico or Canada. 
Furthermore, the company made the decision to shift small electric 
motor production to another domestic facility.
    New information provided by the company on reopening the 
investigation shows that the majority of small electric motor 
production at the Cookeville plant was shifted to Mexico.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained on reconsideration, 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 
Trade Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Sunbeam, Sunbeam Household Products-Cookeville, 
Cookeville, Tennessee who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after May 28, 1995 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-
TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 12th day of June 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
