H. Grabell & Sons, Inc., Paterson, NJ; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reopening

    On February 21, 1995, the Department, on its own motion, reopened 
its investigation for the former workers of the subject firm. The 
initial investigation resulted in a negative determination on January 
20, 1995 because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the Group 
Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met and there was no 
shift in production to Mexico or Canada. The denial notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    An investigation for trade adjustment assistance under petition TA-
W-30,565 resulted in a certification for workers of H. Grabell & Sons, 
Inc., in Paterson, New Jersey. The certification was issued on February 
11, 1995 and will soon be published in the Federal Register. The 
investigation revealed that the subject firm imported lamp shades and 
increased its reliance on imported lamp shades while discontinuing lamp 
shade production at Paterson, New Jersey.
    Other findings show that sales and production decreased in the 
relevant periods and substantial worker separations occurred in 1994.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with lamp shades produced by the subject firm contributed 
importantly to the decline in production and to the total or partial 
separation of workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the following revised 
determination:

    All workers and former workers of H. Grabell & Sons, Inc., 
Paterson, New Jersey who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after December 8, 1993 are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of February 1995.

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