Chock Full O' Nuts, Linden, New Jersey; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reopening

    At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed the 
Termination of Investigation regarding worker eligibility to apply for 
trade adjustment assistance. The termination notice applicable to 
workers of the subject firm located in Linden, New Jersey, was signed 
on April 1, 1997 and published in the Federal Register on April 15, 
1997 (62 FR 18364).
    Workers at Chock Full O' Nuts, Linden, New Jersey produced instant 
coffee and were covered under a previous worker certification, TA-W-
29,923, which expired September 21, 1996. The basis for the 
certification was an increase in company imports.
    The company reports that although all production workers at the 
Linden plant were separated from employment when it closed in 1994, 
supervisory personnel continued employment to assist with the subject 
firm's transition to a contract relationship with their Mexican 
supplier. All layoffs at Linden were completed December 31, 1996.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of instant coffee contributed 
importantly to the decline 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 Chock Full O' Nuts, Linden, New Jersey who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
September 22, 1996, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC this 20th day of June 1997.

Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
