[TA-W-37,011]


Cooper Energy Services, Grove City, Pennsylvania; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On April 27, 200, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former worker of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on May 4, 2000 (65 FR 25947).
    Investigation findings show that the workers are primarily engaged 
in the production of castings and machined components. The worker were 
denied TAA because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group 
Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met. The workers were 
denied NAFTA-TAA on the basis that there was no shift in production to 
Mexico or Canada, nor were there company or customer imports of 
castings or machined components from Mexico or Canada.
    The petitioners presented evidence that some of the production of 
pistons was shifted to Canada and is being returned to the United 
States.
    New information obtained from the subject firm on reconsideration 
reveal that for a short period of time during which the machining 
centers were being transferred from Grove City, Pennsylvania, to 
another domestic location, the company source machined components from 
a Canadian firm. Other findings on reconsideration show that the 
company is increasing its reliance on castings from Mexico.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers of Cooper Energy 
Services, Grove City, Pennsylvania, were adversely affected by 
increased imports, including those from Canada and Mexico, of articles 
like or directly competitive with castings and machined components 
produced at the subject firm.
