DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-51,242]


PolyOne Corporation; O'Sullivan Plastic Division; Yerington, NV; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 21, 2003, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on December 19, 2003 (68 FR 70838).
    On May 5, 2003 the Department initially denied TAA to workers of 
PolyOne Corporation, O'Sullivan Plastics Division, Yerington, Nevada 
producing calendared vinyl because the ``contributed importantly'' 
group eligibility requirement of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974 
was not met.
    On reconsideration, the department surveyed additional customers of 
the subject plant regarding their purchases of calendared vinyl during 
the relevant period. The survey revealed that major declining 
customer(s) increased their imports of calendared vinyl, while 
decreasing their purchases from the subject plant during the relevant 
period. These survey results, in combination with the volume of imports 
reported by the company in the initial investigation, indicate that 
imports contributed importantly to layoffs 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 calendared vinyl, contributed importantly to 
the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial 
separation of workers of PolyOne Corporation, O'Sullivan Plastics 
Division, Yerington, Nevada. In accordance with the provisions of the 
Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of PolyOne Corporation, O'Sullivan Plastics 
Division, Yerington, Nevada who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after

March 14, 2002 through two years of this certification, are eligible 
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade 
Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 16th day of January 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
