EMF Corporation, EMK Division, Burkesville, Kentucky; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By application postmarked December 23, 2003, 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 December 9, 2003, based on the finding that imports of 
electric wire harnesses did not contribute importantly to worker 
separations at the subject plant and no shift of production to a 
foreign source occurred. The denial notice was published in the Federal 
Register on January 16, 2004 (69 FR 2622).
    The petitioner requested that all areas of EMK's business 
transactions be thoroughly investigated. The petitioner appears to be 
indicating work done by the subject firm was shifted to Mexico.
    Upon further review of the initial investigation and contact with 
the subject firm's largest customer, new information was provided 
revealing that the customer increased its import purchases of electric 
wire harnesses, while significantly decreasing its purchases from the 
subject firm.

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 EMF Corporation, EMK 
Division, Burkesville, Kentucky, 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 EMF Corporation, EMK Division, Burkesville, 
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after October 21, 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 28th day of January 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
