DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-91,641]


General Electric Company, d/b/a GE Capacitor and Power Quality 
Products, Energy Connections Division, Fort Edward, New York; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On September 7, 2016, the Department of Labor issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of General Electric Company, d/b/a GE Capacitor and 
Power Quality Products, Energy Connections Division, Fort Edward, New 
York (hereafter referred to as ``GE-Fort Edward'' or ``the subject 
firm''). The subject firm is engaged in activities related to the 
production of capacitors. The subject worker group does not include on-
site leased workers. Workers of the subject firm were previously 
certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-
85,071 (certification expired on May 29, 2016).
    Based on new information provided during the reconsideration 
investigation, the Department determines that the worker group at GE-
Fort Edward has met the worker group eligibility criteria set forth in 
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
    Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or 
proportion of the workers in GE-Fort Edward have become totally or 
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially 
separated.
    Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm has 
shifted to a foreign country a portion of the production of capacitors 
like or directly competitive with those produced by the workers which 
contributed importantly to worker group separations at GE-Fort Edward.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of GE-Fort Edward, who were 
engaged in employment related to production of capacitors, meet the 
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 
U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 
2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of General Electric Company, d/b/a GE Capacitor and 
Power Quality Products, Energy Connections Division, Fort Edward, 
New York, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after May 30, 2016, through two years from the date of this 
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or 
partial separation from employment on date of certification through 
two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act 
of 1974, as amended.


    Signed in Washington, DC, this 31st day of October 2016.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
