Medite Corporation; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By letter of August 11, 1997, the State of Oregon transmitted the 
subject firm's request for administrative reconsideration of the 
Department of Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to 
petition number TA-W-33,487 and NAFTA petition number 01649. The denial 
notice was signed on July 16, 1997 and published in the Federal 
Register on August 1, 1997 (62 FR 41423).
    The subject firm asserts that there are imports of like and 
directly competitive articles from foreign sources which caused the 
employment separations and provided additional information to 
substantiate the claim.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 22nd day of September 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
