[TA-W-33,413]


J.R. Simplot Co., Heyburn, Idaho; Notice of Revised Determination 
on Reconsideration

    On June 30, 1997, the Department, on its own motion, reviewed the 
negative determination regarding the petition for workers of the 
subject firm. The workers produce frozen potato products.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on May 22, 1997, because criterion (3) of the Trade Act of 1974, 
as amended was not met. A survey of major declining customers revealed 
that none of the respondents increased their purchases frozen potato 
products while decreasing their purchases from the subject firm. The 
denial notice was published in the Federal Register on June 13, 1997 
(62 FR 32376).
    A late response to the survey conducted by the Department revealed 
that a customer of the subject firm increased import purchases of 
frozen processed potato products during the relevant time period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with frozen processed potato products, contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of J.R. Simplot Company, Heyburn, Idaho. 
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of J.R. Simplot Company, Heyburn, Idaho, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 6, 
1996, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 10th day of July 1997.
Curtis K. Kooser,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
