DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-50,530]


PHB Tool and Die, Girard, Pennsylvania; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By application of February 28, 2003, the company 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 February 13, 2003, based on the finding that criteria 
(a)(2)(A) (I.C.) and (a)(2)(B) (II.B) were not met. The denial notice 
was published in the Federal Register on March 10, 2003 (68 FR 11409).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the company provided 
additional information that their sole customer, PHB Die Casting, 
Fairview, Pennsylvania had recently been certified for trade adjustment 
assistance (TA-W-42,331).
    Upon examination of the data supplied by the applicant, it became 
apparent that PHB Tool and Die workers provided molds and dies used in 
the production of die castings at an affiliated certified facility (PHB 
Die Casting, Fairview, Pennsylvania).

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced at an affiliated TAA certified 
firm contributed importantly to the declines in the total or partial 
separation of workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    Workers of PHB Tool and Die, Girard, Pennsylvania, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 
8, 2002 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 17th day of April, 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
