[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 244 (Tuesday, December 21, 1999)] [Notices] [Pages 71502-71503] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-33000] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-36,442] Philips Lighting Company; Fairmont, WV; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration By application dated October 19, 1999, the International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers (IUE), AFL-CIO, Local 627, requested administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative determination regarding eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), applicable to workers and former workers of Philips Lighting Company, Fairmont, West Virginia. The denial notice was signed on September 15, 1999 and published in the Federal Register on October 14, 1999 (64 FR 55750). The Department has reviewed the request for reconsideration and has [[Page 71503]] determined further investigation with respect to the products manufactured at the Fairmont facility and imports of products by Philips Lighting Corporation during the relevant period is warranted. The further review will seek to establish whether any articles produced at the Fairmont facility during the relevant period are like or directly competitive with any products imported by the company during that period or whether production of any article was shifted from the Fairmont facility to Mexico or Canada during the relevant period. Conclusion After careful review of the application, I conclude that the additional information provided by the petitioners is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted. Signed at Washington, DC, this 23d day of November 1999. Grant D. Beale, Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
