Notice of Revised Determination
on Reopening

On December 4, 2002, the Department, on its own motion,
reopened its investigation for the former workers of the subject
firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a negative
determination issued on December 13, 2001, because the
"contributed importantly" test of the Group Eligibility
Requirements of the Trade Act was not met for workers at the
subject firm. The workers produce tool and die and parts
thereof. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register
on December 26, 2001 (66 FR 66425).


The Department has obtained new information showing that
from 2000 to 2001, a major declining customer of Haemer-Wright
Tool And Die, Inc. increased import purchases of tool and die and
parts thereof, while reducing purchases from the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on
reopening, it is concluded that increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by
Haemer-Wright Tool And Die, Inc., Saegertown, Pennsylvania,
contributed importantly to the decline in sales and to the total
or partial separation of workers of that firm. In accordance
with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the
following revised determination:
"All workers of Haemer-Wright Tool And Die, Inc.,
Saegertown, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 4, 2000,
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section
223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D.C. this 5th day of December, 2002.

Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of eligi-
bility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance,
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof,
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) that sales or production, or both, of the firm or sub-
division have decreased absolutely; and

(3) that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the firm or ap-
propriate subdivision have contributed importantly to the
separations, or threat thereof, and to the absolute
decline in sales or production.

The investigation was initiated on September 24, 2001, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers at Haemer-Wright
Tool and Die, Inc., Saegertown, Pennsylvania. The workers produce
tool and die and parts thereof.


The investigation revealed that criterion (3) has not been
met.
The subject firm does not import tool and die and parts
thereof.
A survey by The Department of Labor among the major customers
revealed that the subject firm was not the lowest domestic bidder
for tool and die production that was awarded to foreign entities
during the relevant period.

Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Haemer-
Wright Tool and Die, Inc., Saegertown, Pennsylvania, are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
