Inland Paperboard and Packaging Inc., Erie, Pennsylvania; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letters of April 30 and May 1, 1997, the United Paperworkers 
International Union requested administrative reconsideration of the 
Department of Labor's Notices of Negative Determination Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance, 
petition NAFTA-01548 and Worker Adjustment Assistance, petition TA-W-
33,336. The denial notices for NAFTA-01548 and TA-W-33,336 were signed 
on April 1, 1997 and published in the Federal Register on May 2, 1997 
(62 FR 24135), and April 25, 1997 (62 FR 18362), respectively.
    The petitioners' request claims that production of boxes in Mexico 
will increase when the Erie plant closes. Review of the Department's 
investigation shows that the survey of the subject firm's customers was 
incomplete.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 31st day of July 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
