    Notice of Determinations Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 
    Worker Adjustment Assistance and NAFTA Transitional Adjustment 
    Assistance
    
        In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
    amended, the Department of Labor herein presents summaries of 
    determinations regarding eligibility to apply for trade adjustment 
    assistance for workers (TA-W) issued during the period of March, 1994.
        In order for an affirmative determination to be made and a 
    certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
    to be issued, each of the group eligibility requirements of section 222 
    of the Act must be met.
        (1) That a significant number or proportion of the workers in the 
    workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof, have become 
    totally or partially separated,
        (2) That sales or production, or both, of the firm or subdivision 
    have decreased absolutely, and
        (3) That increases of imports of articles like or directly 
    competitive with articles produced by the firm or appropriate 
    subdivision have contributed importantly to the separations, or threat 
    thereof, and to the absolute decline in sales or production.
    
    Negative Determinations for Worker Adjustment Assistance
    
        In each of the following cases the investigation revealed that

        The importation of footwear did not negatively impact employment at

    Negative Determinations NAFTA-TAA

        The investigation revealed that criteria (3) and criteria (4) were 
    not met. There was no shift in production from subject firm to Canada 
    or Mexico during the relevant period.
        A survey was conducted with firms to whom Allied Signal Aerospace 
    submitted bids for large contracts and was not awarded the project. 
    Results revealed that respondents did not utilize Mexican or Canadian 
    production sources for the subject contracts. An investigation is 
    currently in process for trade adjustment assistance under Section 223 
    of the Trade Act. The number assigned for this TAA investigation is TA-
    W-29,457.
    
    NAFTA-TAA-00054; National Steel Pellet Co., Keewatin, MN
        The investigation revealed that criterion (1) has not been met in 
    conjunction with the requirements of Section 506(b)(2) of the Act. 
    Workers at the subject firm were not separated from employment on or 
    after December 8, 1993, the earliest date for which certification under 
    NAFTA-TAA applies.
    
    NAFTA-TAA-00039; J.C. Penney Co., Inc., Drapery Fabrication, Center, 
    Custom Decorating Sales Center, Newark, DE

    NAFTA-TAA applies.
    
    NAFTA-TAA-00035; Armco Stainless & Alloy Products, Bridgeville, PA
        The investigation revealed that criterion (3) and criterion (4) 
    have not been met. There was no shift of production operations 
    performed by the workers to Mexico or Canada during the relevant 
    period. The investigation revealed that the plant ceased production in 
    late 1993 and that customers did not utilize firms in Mexico or Canada 
    for the finishing of the types of stainless and alloy steel production 
    previously done by the Bridgeville, PA plant. An investigation is being 
    immediately instituted for trade adjustment assistance under Section 
    223 of the Trade Act. The number assigned for this trade adjustment 
    assistance investigation is TA-W-29,716.

    Labor has consistently determined that the performance of services does 
    not constitute production of an article as required by the Trade Act of 
    1974.
