DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[TA-W-30,361]


Wailuku Agribusiness Co., Inc., Pineapple Division, Wailuku, HI; 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On February 10, 1995, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on February 27, 1995 (60 FR 9409).
    The findings show that the workers produce pineapples and macadamia 
nuts with pineapples being the preponderant portion of sales. The 
findings show that sales and production of pineapples declined in the 
first nine months of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993. 
Substantial worker separations occurred in 1994.
    New findings on reconsideration show that all the pineapples grown 
and harvested are sold to an exclusive purchaser whose workers are 
under a trade adjustment assistance certification. By virtue of the 
fact that there is only one customer, the customer exercised de facto 
control over the production, sales and employment of pineapples at the 
subject firm. Accordingly, the workers meet the Department's standard 
of a reduced demand for their products from a parent or controlling 
firm whose workers produce an article and are currently under a 
certification for TAA.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that the workers and former workers of 
Wailuku Agribusiness Company, Inc., Pineapple Division, Wailuku Hawaii 
were adversely affected by increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with pineapples.
    Accordingly, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make 
the following certification:

    All workers of Wailuku Agribusiness Company, Inc., in Wailuku, 
Hawaii who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after September 14, 1993 are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of March, 1995.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
