Kodak Polychrome Graphics Anitec Division, Binghamton, New York; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On August 14, 1998, the Department issued Negative Determinations 
Regarding Eligibility to apply for TAA and NAFTA-TAA, applicable to 
workers and former workers of Kodak Polychrome Graphics, Anitec 
Division, Binghamton, New York. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on September 10, 1998 (63 FR 48525).
    By letter of September 25, 1998, the petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding the Department's denial of 
NAFTA-TAA for

workers of the subject firm. Workers at Kodak Polychrome Graphics are 
engaged in employment related to the production of film. The 
petitioners claim that the investigation did not fully examine the 
impacts of imports from Mexico and insisted that the situation at the 
subject facility was similar to another facility closed by the parent 
company whose workers were certified eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA 
(NAFTA-02351). After discussions with officials of the parent company, 
it is determined that there has been a shift of production to Mexico 
with resulting imports into the U.S.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that were increased imports from foreign 
sources including Mexico or Canada, of articles like or directly 
competitive with those produced by the subject firm. In accordance with 
the provisions of the Trade Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Kodak Polychrome Graphics, Anitec Division, 
Binghamton, New York engaged in employment related to the production 
of film who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after June 15, 1997 through two years from the issuance of this 
revised determination are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, D.C. this 19th day of November 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
