Northwest Alloys, Inc., Addy, Washington; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On May 11, 1994, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and former 
workers of the subject firm in Addy, Washington. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on May 20, 1994 (59 FR 26520).
    Investigation findings show that the workers produce magnesium.
    The Department's initial denial showed that the decreased sales or 
production criterion of the Worker Group Eligibility Requirements of 
the Trade Act of 1974 was not met.
    New findings on reconsideration, however, show that magnesium sales 
decreased in the last half of 1993 compared to the same period in 1992 
and decreased in the first five months of 1994 compared to the same 
period in 1993.
    U.S. aggregate imports of magnesium increased substantially in 1993 
compared to 1992.
    The Department surveyed several additional customers on 
reconsideration. The survey showed that these customers accounted for 
the major portion of Northwest's sales decline in the last six months 
of 1993 compared to the same period in 1992. The survey showed that all 
the respondents increased their import purchases of magnesium and 
reduced their purchases from the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, it is concluded that increased imports of articles 
like or directly competitive with the magnesium produced at Northwest 
Alloys, Inc., in Addy, Washington contributed importantly to the 
decline in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers at the Addy, Washington facility of Northwest Alloys, Inc. 
In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the 
following revised determination:
    ``All workers of Northwest Alloys, Inc., in Addy, Washington who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
February 7, 1993 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of June 1994.

Deputy Director, Office of Legislation & Actuarial Services
