DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-40,417]


NTN-Bower Corporation, Hamilton, AL; Notice of Negative 
Determination on Remand

    The United States Court of International Trade (USCIT) granted the 
Secretary of Labor's motion for a voluntary remand for further 
investigation in Former Employees of NTN-Bower Corp. v. United States 
Secretary of Labor, No. 02-00315.
    The Department's initial negative determination of eligibility to 
apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) for the workers and former 
workers of NTN-Bower Corporation, located in Hamilton, Alabama was 
issued on March 27, 2002, and published in the Federal Register on 
April 5, 2002 (67 FR 16441). The denial was based on the fact that 
workers of the subject firm did not meet criterion (3) as indicated in 
the initial investigation. The company did not import tapered roller 
bearings nor did customers import tapered roller bearings during 2000 
or 2001.
    On voluntary remand, the Department conducted a further survey of a 
major customer regarding their purchases of tapered roller bearings 
(TRB) during 1999, 2000 and 2001. The response from the major customer 
was not acquired during the initial survey.
    The results of the survey show that the major customer did not 
import tapered roller bearings during the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the results of the remand 
investigation, I affirm the original notice of negative determination 
of eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance for workers and 
former workers of NTN-Bower Corporation, Hamilton, Alabama.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 3rd day of October, 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
