The Timkin Company Canton, Ohio and The Timkin Company Wooster,
Ohio; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration
On August 17, 1999, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration, applicable to
workers of the subject firm locations in Canton and Wooster, Ohio. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 31, 1999 (64 FR
47525).
The Department initially denied TAA to workers producing specialty
alloy steel and tapered roller bearings and components of The Timkin
Company in Wooster and Canton, Ohio, because the ``contributed
importantly'' group eligibility requirement of Section 222 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, was not met.
On reconsideration, the Department conducted further survey of the
major declining customers of The Timkin Company regarding their
purchases of specialty carbon and alloy steel and tapered roller
bearings and components. The survey revealed that customers accounting
for a meaningful share of the subject firm's sales decline during the
relevant time period, increased import purchases of articles like or
directly competitive with those produced by
[[Page 57659]]
workers at the Canton and Wooster plants.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with specialty steel and tapered roller bearings
and components, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or
production and to the total or partial separation of workers of The
Timkin Company, Canton, Ohio and Wooster, Ohio. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
All workers of The Timkin Company, Canton, Ohio and Wooster,
Ohio, engaged in employment related to the production of specialty
steel or tapered roller bearings and components, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March 2, 1998
through two years from the date of the issuance of this
determination, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, DC this 13th day of October 1999.

Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
