EFR Corporation, Everett, WA; Notice of Negative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By an application dated January 9, 1995, a former company official 
requested administrative reconsideration of the subject petition for 
transitional adjustment assistance (NAFTA-TAA). The denial notice was 
issued on December 12, 1994 and published in the Federal Register on 
January 3, 1995 (60 FR 149).
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake [[Page 11122]] in the determination of facts not previously 
considered; or
    (3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a 
misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of 
the decision.
    The findings show that the subject company was set up in February 
1994 and harvested logs. The partnership was dissolved in November, 
1994.
    In 1994 the company cleared land and sold the logs to one customer 
who did not import logs or lumber.
    The Department's denial was based on the fact that there was no 
shift in production from the workers' firm to Mexico or Canada. The 
Department's survey also revealed that the customer did not import logs 
or lumber from Canada or Mexico.
    The workers were also denied trade adjustment assistance on 
reconsideration under petition TA-W-30, 483.

Conclusion

    After review of the application and investigative findings, I 
conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law 
or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department 
of Labor's prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 16th day of February, 1995.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
