Electronix Servicenter, Irving, Texas; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
The Department, on its own motion, has reconsidered its negative
determination in Former Employees of Electronix Service Center v.
Robert Reich, No. 94-06-00356, U.S. Court of International Trade. As a
result of this reconsideration, the Department is now certifying the
workers of Electronix Servicenter (``Electronix''), in Irving, Texas,
as eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974.
As stated in the Department's July 13, 1994, denial on
reconsideration for the subject firm, Electronix's customers reported
no imports of computers like or directly competitive with those
produced by Electronix. Administrative Record (``AR'') at 43. New
investigation findings, however, show that a major customer of
Electronix changed its earlier statement to the Department and reported
that, during the base period in question, it purchased computers
competitive with those produced by Electronix workers, at discount
retail stores. When combined with nationwide import figures, this new
finding suggests that Electronix customers could be purchasing indirect
imports of computers. These import figures show that the value of U.S.
imports of data processing equipment and parts increased absolutely and
relative to domestic shipments in the time period relevant to the
investigation. AR at 13-15.
The Irving facility was closed August 31, 1993 and all workers
separated at that time.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, it is concluded that increased imports of articles
like or directly competitive with computers produced at Electronix
Servicenter, Irving, Texas contributed importantly to the decline in
sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers
at subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of
1974, I make the following revised determination:
``All workers of Electronix Servicenter, Irving, Texas who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 29, 1992 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, DC this 20th day of September 1995.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
