[TA-W-36, 824]


Crouse-Hinds Division of Cooper Industries Syracuse, New York; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On December 2, 1999, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on December 23, 1999 (64 FR 72101).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Crouse-Hinds 
Division of Cooper Industries, Syracuse, New York, producing EMT 
electrical fittings because none of the worker group eligibility 
requirements of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, were 
met.
    On reconsideration, the subject firm provided additional 
information on imports of EMT electrical fittings. Findings on 
reconsideration show that the subject firm increased their reliance on 
imports of EMT electrical fittings. The petitioners, International 
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). Local 2084, have provided 
additional information showing that there is a threat of worker 
separations at the subject plant in Syracuse, New York.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with EMT electrical fittings, contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of Crouse-Hinds Division of Cooper 
Industries. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:

    ``All workers of Crouse-Hinds Division of Cooper Industries, 
Syracuse, New York, engaged in employment related to the production 
of EMT electrical fittings, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after September 1, 1998 through two 
years from the date of this issuance, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC this 4th day of January 2000.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
