McInnes Steel Company, Corry, Pennsylvania; Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA-Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance

    Pursuant to Title V of the North American Free Trade Agreement 
Implementation Act (P.L. 103-182) concerning transitional adjustment 
assistance, hereinafter called NAFTA-TAA and in accordance with Section 
250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended (19 U.S.C. 2331), the Department of Labor herein presents the 
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility to 
apply for NAFTA-TAA.
    In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a 
certification of eligibility to apply for NAFTA-TAA, the following 
group eligibility requirements in paragraph (a)(1) of Section 250 of 
the Trade Act must be met:
    (1) That a significant number or proportion of the workers in such 
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision (including workers in any 
agricultural firm or appropriate subdivision thereof) have become 
totally or partially separated from employment and either--
    (2) That sales or production, or both, of such firm or subdivision 
have decreased absolutely,
    (3) And that imports from Mexico or Canada of articles like or 
directly competitive with articles produced by such firm or subdivision 
have increased, and the increases in imports contributed importantly to 
such workers' separations or threat of separation and to the decline in 
the sales or production of such firm or subdivision; or
    (4) That there has been a shift in production by such workers' firm 
or subdivision to Mexico or Canada of articles like or directly 
competitive with articles which are produced by the firm or 
subdivision.
    The investigation was initiated on October 11, 1995 in response to 
a petition filed on behalf of former workers at McInnes Steel Company, 
Corry, Pennsylvania. The workers produce steel forgings.
    The investigation revealed that criteria (3) and (4) were not met.
    Investigative findings show that there were no unsuccessful bids 
submitted by the subject firm for steel forgings that were lost to 
foreign manufacturers during the relevant period. The findings also 
show that there was no shift in production from the workers' firm to 
Mexico or Canada.

Conclusion

    After careful review, I determine that all workers of McInnes Steel 
Company, Corry, Pennsylvania are denied eligibility to apply for NAFTA-
TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC. this 6th day of November 1995.

Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
