DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-40,417]
NTN-Bower Corporation, Hamilton, AL; Notice of Negative
Determination on Remand
The United States Court of International Trade (USCIT) granted the
Secretary of Labor's motion for a voluntary remand for further
investigation in Former Employees of NTN-Bower Corp. v. United States
Secretary of Labor, No. 02-00315.
The Department's initial negative determination of eligibility to
apply for trade adjustment assistance (TAA) for the workers and former
workers of NTN-Bower Corporation, located in Hamilton, Alabama was
issued on March 27, 2002, and published in the Federal Register on
April 5, 2002 (67 FR 16441). The denial was based on the fact that
workers of the subject firm did not meet criterion (3) as indicated in
the initial investigation. The company did not import tapered roller
bearings nor did customers import tapered roller bearings during 2000
or 2001.
On voluntary remand, the Department conducted a further survey of a
major customer regarding their purchases of tapered roller bearings
(TRB) during 1999, 2000 and 2001. The response from the major customer
was not acquired during the initial survey.
The results of the survey show that the major customer did not
import tapered roller bearings during the relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the results of the remand
investigation, I affirm the original notice of negative determination
of eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance for workers and
former workers of NTN-Bower Corporation, Hamilton, Alabama.
Signed in Washington, DC this 3rd day of October, 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
