Tridelta Industries, Inc. Mentor, Ohio; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By letter of July 19, 2001, the company 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 June 8, 2001, based on the finding that imports of pneumatic 
controls did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the 
Mentor plant. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register 
on June 27, 2001 (66 FR 34254).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the company official 
provide additional information, which was not provided during the 
initial investigation. The official indicated that the company that 
acquired the subject plant began importing pneumatic controls shortly 
before the investigation was instituted and continued to increase their 
imports of pneumatic controls to compensate for the pneumatic controls 
once produced at the subject plant.

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 Tridelta Industries, Inc., 
Mentor, Ohio, 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 Tridelta Industries, Inc., Mentor, Ohio, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
May 18, 2000 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 5th day of November 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
