DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-37,828]


Johnstown, Corporation, Johnstown, PA; Notice of Revised 
Determination of Reconsideration

    On October 19, 2000, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice soon will be 
published in the Federal Register.
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Johnstown 
Corporation, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, because the ``contributed 
importantly'' group eligibility requirement of Section 222(3) of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met.
    On reconsideration, the Department obtained additional information 
from the company regarding the company's lost customer bids of iron 
rolls during the relevant period. The survey revealed that major 
respondents reported awarding the contracts to foreign sources for 
which the subject firm was the lowest domestic bidder.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with iron rolls contributed importantly to the 
declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers of Johnstown Corporation, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In 
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of Johnstown Corporation, Johnstown, Pennsylvania 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after June 9, 1999 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974;


    Signed in Washington, DC this 16th day of November 2000.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
