Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc., Hillsgrove Division, 
Warwick, RI; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By application of April 21, 2003, a company official 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 March 21, 2003, based on the finding that imports of 
electrical wiring devices did not contribute importantly to worker 
separations at the subject plant and that there was no shift to a 
foreign country. The denial notice was published in the Federal 
Register on April 7, 2003 (68 FR 16833).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the company official 
supplied additional information to supplement that which was gathered 
during the initial investigation. Upon further review, it was revealed 
that the company shifted production of electrical wiring devices to 
Mexico during the relevant period and that this shift contributed 
importantly to layoffs at the Warwick plant.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I 
determine that there was a shift in production from the workers' firm 
or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are like or directly 
competitive with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision, and 
there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports of like or 
directly competitive articles. In accordance with the provisions of the 
Act, I make the following certification:

``All workers of Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc., Hillsgrove 
Division, Warwick, Rhode Island who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after December 16, 2001 through two 
years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC this 26th day of June 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
