[TA-W-41,597]


Waukesha Engine Division, Waukesha, WI; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By application of August 27, 2002, the International Association of 
Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local Lodge 1377, 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 July 19, 2002, based on the finding that imports of internal 
combustion gaseous fueled engines and parts did not contribute 
importantly to worker separations at the Lewisburg plant. The denial 
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 7, 2002 (67 FR 
51295).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the union supplied 
additional information to supplement that which was gathered during the 
initial investigation. Upon further review and contact with the 
company, it was revealed that, in contrast to the initial finding that 
the subject facility exclusively serviced the export market, it became 
apparent that there was a substantial domestic customer base.
    Further, the company provided import data not previously disclosed 
regarding imports. An examination of this data revealed that the 
company increased its reliance on imports of internal combustion 
gaseous fueled engines and parts, contributing to layoffs at the 
subject facility.

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 Waukesha Engine Division, 
Waukesha, Wisconsin, 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 Waukesha Engine Division, Waukesha, Wisconsin, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after May 15, 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 6th day of May 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
