F.C.I.; Freeman, South Dakota Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On September 9, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for NAFTA 
Transitional adjustment Assistance for former workers of the subject 
firm. This notice was published in the Federal Register on September 
23, 1994 (59 FR 48914).
    On reconsideration, it was found that F.C.I. ceased production of 
industrial back supports in January, 1994. Other findings show 
substantial worker separations occurred in 1993 and 1994.
    New findings on reconsideration show that a major declining 
customer of industrial back supports from F.C.I. decreased its 
purchases in 1994 and substantially increased its import purchases of 
back supports.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the F.C.I. workers in Freeman, 
South Dakota were adversely affected by increased imports of articles 
like or directly competitive with the back supports produced at F.C.I. 
in Freeman, South Dakota.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
revised certification for the F.C.I. workers in Freeman, South Dakota.

    ``All workers of F.C.I. in Freeman, South Dakota who were 
engaged in employment related to the production of back supports who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
June 7, 1993 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 25th of November 1994.

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