[TA-W-33,190]


Allied Signal Incorporated Parsippany, New Jersey; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On May 15, 1997, 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 29, 1997 (62 FR 29151).
    The workers were denied eligibility to apply for trade adjustment 
assistance because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group 
Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met based on results 
from a customer survey.
    In a letter dated April 11, 1997, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's Notice of Negative 
Determination for workers of the subject firm, alleging that customers 
are importing articles that are ``like or directly competitive'' with 
articles produced by Allied Signal.
    To investigate this claim, the Department conducted a survey the 
subject firm's major customer. New findings on reconsideration show 
that this customer is relying on imported amorphous metal strips which 
are directly competitive with the product produced at the Parsippany, 
New Jersey plant of Allied Signal.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers of Allied Signal 
Incorporated in Parsippany, New Jersey were adversely affected by 
increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with 
amorphous metal strips produced at the subject firm.

    All workers of Allied Signal Incorporated in Parisppany, New 
Jersey engaged in employment related to the production of amorphous 
metal strips, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after January 27, 1996 are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 24th day of June 1997.

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