[NAFTA-3093]


Thompson Crown Wood Products, Mocksville, North Carolina; Notice 
of Revised Determination on Reopening

    By letter of July 14, 1999, a company official requested 
reconsideration of the Department's negative determination applicable 
to workers and former workers of the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on June 17, 1999, because worker separations at Thomson Crown 
Wood Products in Mocksville, North Carolina were attributable to a 
change in the manufacturing process at the plant which required fewer 
workers to manufacture television cabinets produced at the plant. 
Additionally, production increased as employment declined during the 
relevant time period. The denial notice was published in the Federal 
Register on July 20, 1999 (64 FR 38922).
    New information obtained from the company shows that the assembly 
of television cabinets that was performed by the workers in Mocksville, 
North Carolina, has been shifted to Mexico.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new 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 of 1974, I make the following revised 
determination:

    All workers to Thomson Crown Wood Products, Mocksville, North 
Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after April 8, 1998, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of August 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
