DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-37,600 and NAFTA 3998]


Trinity Industries, Incorporated, Mt. Orab, OH; Notice of 
Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 4, 2000, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on October 18, 2000 (65 FR 62369).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Trinity 
Industries, Incorporated because the ``contributed importantly'' group 
eligibility requirement of section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, was not met. The Department denied NAFTA-TAA because the 
``contributed importantly'' group eligibility requirement of section 
250 was not met and because there was no shift in production to either 
Mexico or Canada. The workers at the subject firm were engaged in 
employment related to the production of aluminum rail cars.
    The petitioner asserted that imports of rail cars contributed 
importantly to the worker separations and provided additional 
information which should have been considered by the Department in its 
survey of customers.
    On reconsideration, the Department surveyed additional customers of 
the subject firm. The survey revealed that no customers were purchasing 
imported aluminum rail cars.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
and NAFTA-TAA for workers and former workers of Trinity Industries, 
Incorporated, Mt. Orab, Ohio.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 1st day of November, 2000.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
