Thompson Crown Wood Products, Mocksville, North Carolina; Notice
of Revised Determination on Reopening
By letter of July 14, 1999, a company official requested
reconsideration of the Department's negative determination applicable
to workers and former workers of the subject firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination
issued on June 17, 1999, because worker separations at Thomson Crown
Wood Products in Mocksville, North Carolina were attributable to a
change in the manufacturing process at the plant which required fewer
workers to manufacture television cabinets produced at the plant.
Additionally, production increased as employment declined during the
relevant time period. The denial notice was published in the Federal
Register on July 20, 1999 (64 FR 38922).
New information obtained from the company shows that the assembly
of television cabinets that was performed by the workers in Mocksville,
North Carolina, has been shifted to Mexico.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on
reconsideration, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm to Mexico of articles that are like or directly
competitive with those produced by the subject firm. In accordance with
the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the following revised
determination:
All workers to Thomson Crown Wood Products, Mocksville, North
Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after April 8, 1998, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under
section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of August 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
