Diamond Tool and Horseshoe Company, Duluth, Minnesota; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On February 14, 1995, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the former 
workers of the subject firm. The notice will soon be published in the 
Federal Register.
    The subject plant ceased operations in September, 1994 and all 
workers were laid off at that time.
    U.S. imports of pliers, wrenches, horse and mule shoes increased in 
1993 compared to 1992 and in the latest 12-month period ending in 
August 1994 compared to the same period ending in August 1993.
    On reconsideration, the workers submitted a new list of customers 
who decreased their purchases from the subject firm in the relevant 
time periods. New findings on reconsideration show that customers 
accounting for a substantial portion of Diamond Tool's sales decline in 
1993 and in the first six months of 1994 compared to their immediate 
earlier respective periods increased their purchases of imports in the 
same periods.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the former workers of the Diamond 
Tool and Horseshoe Company in Duluth, Minnesota were adversely affected 
by increased imports of articles that are like or directly competitive 
with horseshoes, wrenches and pliers and related equipment.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
revised determination for workers of the Diamond Tool and Horseshoe 
Company in Duluth, Minnesota.

``All workers and former workers of Diamond Tool and Horseshoe 
Company, Duluth, Minnesota who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after April 14, 1993 are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of February, 1995.

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