[TA-W-41,022]


DT Magnetics International, Inc., Knightdale, NC; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By letter dated June 15, 2002, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding the Department's Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance, applicable to the workers of the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on May 31, 2002, based on the finding that imports did not 
contribute importantly to the layoffs at the subject plant. The denial 
notice was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2002 (67 FR 
42285).
    The request for reconsideration is based on the allegation that all 
production at the subject plant was shifted to the Dominican Republic 
and China. The petitioner further attached a ``Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance'' for a sister 
plant (TA-W-40,468, DT Magnetics International, Inc., Dover, New 
Hampshire) producing the same products as the subject plant. That 
certification was based on the subject firm increasing imports of 
inductors and transformers.
    The Department on further review of the initial investigation and 
data supplied in the TAA certified DT Magnetics International, Inc., 
Dover, New Hampshire plant, shows both locations produced inductors and 
transformers. The subject plant workers were not separately 
identifiable. The review also showed that subject plant production was 
shifted to the Dominican Republic and the company increased their 
reliance on imported inductors and transformers during the relevant 
period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced at DT Magnetics, Inc., 
Knightdale, North Carolina contributed importantly to the declines in 
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers 
at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I 
make the following certification:

    All workers of DT Magnetics, Inc., Knightdale, North Carolina 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after February 18, 2001 through two years from the date of this 
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 29th day of July 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
