Thompson Steel Pipe Company, Thompson Tanks Division, Princeton, 
Kentucky; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On September 22, 1995, The Department issued a negative 
determination to workers of Thompson Steel Pipe Company, Thompson Tanks 
Division, located in Princeton, Kentucky, to apply for NAFTA-
Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA). The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on October 5, 1995 (FR 60 52213).
    By letter of January 16, 1996, the petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's findings.
    Investigation findings revealed that production and employment 
declined during the time period of the investigation.
    Further findings on reconsideration show that the subject firm 
entered an agreement to begin importing propane tanks from Mexico.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with propane tanks contributed importantly to the 
declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers from Thompson Steel Pipe Company, Thompson Tanks Division, 
Princeton, Kentucky. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I 
make the following certification:

    ``All workers of Thompson Steel Pipe Company, Thompson Tanks 
Division, Princeton, Kentucky, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after August 9, 1994 are eligible to 
apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC this 12th day of February 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
