Alcoa Fujikura Ltd., Electro-Mechanical Products Owosso, 
Michigan; Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening

    On October 20, 1998 the Department issued a Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance, 
applicable to workers and former workers of Alcoa Fujikura Ltd., 
Owosso, Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
November 10, 1998 (62 FR 63078).
    By letter of November 16, 1998, the company requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding the Department's denial. New 
information provided by Alcoa Fujikura shows that company imports of 
radio frequency interference units increased during the time period 
relevant to the investigation.
    Workers at the subject firm are engaged in employment related to 
the production of radio frequency interference units. The workers are 
not separately identifiable by product line.
    Sales, production and employment at the Owosso, Michigan production 
facility declined during the relevant time period. The plant will close 
by the end of December, 1998.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reopening, 
I conclude that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with radio frequency interference units contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of Alcoa Fujikura Ltd., Electro-
Mechanical Products, Owosso, Michigan. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    ``All workers of Alcoa Fujikura, Electro-Mechanical Products, 
Owosso, Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after August 27, 1997

[[Page 68302]]

are eligible to apply for worker adjustment assistance under Section 
223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC this 23rd day of November 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
