Dale Electronics, Inc., Bradford Electronics, Bradford, 
Pennsylvania; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On September 20, 1996, the Department issued a Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance, applicable to all workers of Dale Electronics, Bradford 
Electronics located in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    By letter of September 27, 1996, the petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's findings. The 
petitioners presented new evidence that was not considered in the 
original determination. Additional new evidence was subsequently 
transmitted to the Department by officials of Dale Electronics in 
Bradford.
    The workers at Dale Electronics produce electronic components. The 
initial TAA petition for workers at Dale Electronics was denied because 
criterion (3) of the Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act of 
1974 was not met. The subject firm did not import electronic 
components. Layoffs at the Bradford plant were attributable to the 
transfer of production to other domestic plants.
    New findings on reconsideration show that the company does import 
electronic components.
    Other new findings on reconsideration reveal that the company is 
shifting production of electronic components to their foreign 
manufacturing facilities and will import from those foreign locations.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that increased imports of articles 
like or directly competitive with electronic components produced by the 
subject firm contributed importantly to the declines in sales and to 
the total or partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In 
accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the 
following revised determination:

    All workers of Dale Electronics, Inc., Bradford Electronics, 
Bradford, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after June 6, 1995, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 28th day of October, 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
