Litton Systems, Inc., Litton Guidance & Control Systems Division, 
Grants Pass, OR; Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On January 13, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and 
former workers of the subject firm. This notice was published in the 
Federal Register on January 21, 1994 (59 FR 3378).
    The former workers stated that production and employment declines 
occurred because production on the LN 93 and LN 94 systems was 
transferred to Korea.
    New findings on reconsideration show that the major portion of the 
worker separations occurred in the 1989 to 1991 period. Section 
223(b)(1) of the Trade Act does not permit the certification of workers 
who were separated more than one year from the date of the petition. 
The date of the instant petition is September 7, 1993.
    Other findings on reconsideration show that although production on 
the LN 93 and LN 94 programs was transferred from Grants Pass to Korea 
with the completed portion being shipped back to the U.S., it did not 
account for a sufficient portion of the production at Grants Pass to 
warrant certification.
    Further, the findings show that the workers at Grants Pass are not 
separately identifiable by product.
    Lastly, worker separations on the SNAP and PADS programs stated in 
the petition were negligible in the period relevant to the petition.
    The Trade Act was not intended to provide TAA benefits to everyone 
who is in some way affected by increased imports but only to those 
accounting for a substantial portion of the workers' firm and who 
experienced a decline in sales or production and employment and an 
increase in imports of like or directly competitive products which 
contributed importantly to declines in sales or production and 
employment in the period relevant to the petition.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance to 
workers and former workers of Litton Systems, Inc., Litton Guidance & 
Control Systems Division in Grants Pass, Oregon.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 8th day of February 1994.
