DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-41,022]
DT Magnetics International, Inc., Knightdale, NC; Notice of
Revised Determination on Reconsideration
By letter dated June 15, 2002, 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 May 31, 2002, based on the finding that imports did not
contribute importantly to the layoffs at the subject plant. The denial
notice was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2002 (67 FR
42285).
The request for reconsideration is based on the allegation that all
production at the subject plant was shifted to the Dominican Republic
and China. The petitioner further attached a ``Certification Regarding
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance'' for a sister
plant (TA-W-40,468, DT Magnetics International, Inc., Dover, New
Hampshire) producing the same products as the subject plant. That
certification was based on the subject firm increasing imports of
inductors and transformers.
The Department on further review of the initial investigation and
data supplied in the TAA certified DT Magnetics International, Inc.,
Dover, New Hampshire plant, shows both locations produced inductors and
transformers. The subject plant workers were not separately
identifiable. The review also showed that subject plant production was
shifted to the Dominican Republic and the company increased their
reliance on imported inductors and transformers during 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 those produced at DT Magnetics, Inc.,
Knightdale, North Carolina 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 DT Magnetics, Inc., Knightdale, North Carolina
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 18, 2001 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 29th day of July 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
