Trego Industries, Inc., Red Oak, TX; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By letter postmarked November 13, 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 October 11, 2002, based on the finding that imports of 
commercial door products did not contribute importantly to worker 
separations at the Red Oak plant. The denial notice was published in 
the Federal Register on November 5, 2002 (67 FR 67421).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied 
additional information to supplement that which was gathered during the 
initial investigation. Upon further review and contact with the major 
declining customer, it was revealed that this customer increased its 
imports of like or directly competitive products in 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 Trego Industries, Inc., Red 
Oak, Texas, 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 Trego Industries, Inc., Red Oak, Texas, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
August 2, 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 18th day of March 2003.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
