Johnson Controls Battery Group Inc., Owosso, Michigan; Revised 
Determination on Reopening

    On May 12, 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 
February 21, 1995 because the ``contributed importantly'' test of the 
Group Eligibility Requirements of the Trade Act was not met for workers 
at the subject firm. The denial notice was published in the Federal 
Register on March 10, 1995 (60 FR 13177).
    The new findings show a late response indicating that a customer of 
the subject firm increased purchases of imported automotive batteries 
in 1993 and 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 automotive batteries produced by the subject firm 
contributed importantly to the declines in sales and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of the subject firm. In accordance with 
the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the following revised 
determination:

    ``All workers of Johnson Controls Battery Group, Inc., Owosso, 
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after December 22, 1993, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 17th day of May 1995.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
