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

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.
