Vought Aircraft Co., Dallas, TX; Notice of Negative Determination 
on Reconsideration

    On April 7, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and 
former workers of the subject firm. This notice was published in the 
Federal Register on April 15, 1994 (15 FR 18162).
    Both the company and the union claimed that one of Vought's 
customers ordered the production of subassemblies for its commercial 
aircraft to be transferred to firms in selected countries offshore to 
create a ``market pull'' for the sale of its aircraft.
    On reconsideration the company submitted new data on the number of 
hours by shop and function which are offloaded to firms in selected 
countries overseas. The new data shows that the number of hours 
offloaded do not constitute a substantial amount of the total hours by 
shop and function and therefore did not contribute importantly to 
employment, sales and/or production declines at Dallas.
    The Department would entertain a new petition when the amount of 
production offloaded overseas constitutes a substantial portion of the 
production at the Dallas facility.
    The Department certified (TA-W-28,470) Vought workers producing 
manual fiberlite fabrications of aircraft skin panels (Job Family 7380) 
because Vought Aircraft shifted a significant portion of its manual 
fiberlite fabricating offshore thereby increasing company imports of 
aircraft skin panels in the first-quarter of 1993.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance to 
workers and former workers of the Vought Aircraft Company in Dallas, 
Texas.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of May 1994.
