with Section 250(a) Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act
as amended, the Department of Labor presents summaries of
determinations regarding eligibility to apply for NAFTA-TAA issued
during the month of August 1994.
In order for an affirmative determination to be made and a
certification of eligibility to apply for NAFTA-TAA the following group
eligibility requirements of Section 250 of the Trade Act must be met:
(1) that a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm, or an appropriate subdivision thereof, (including
workers in any agricultural firm or appropriate subdivision thereof)
have become totally or partially separated from employment and either--
(A) that sales or production, or both, of such firm or subdivision
have decreased absolutely,
(B) that imports from Mexico or Canada of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by such firm or subdivison have
increased.
(C) that the increase in imports contributed importantly to such
workers' separations or threat of separation and to the decline in
sales or production of such firm or subdivison; or
(2) that there has been a shift in production by such workers' firm
or subdivision to Mexico or Canada of articles like or directly
competitive with articles which are produced by the firm or
subdivision.
Negative Determinations NAFTA-TAA
NAFTA-TAA-000178; Leggett & Platt, Inc., Fashion Bed Group, Chicago, IL
The investigation revealed that criteria (3) & criteria (4) were
not met. There was no shift in production from the workers' firm to
Mexico or Canada during the relevant period. The investigation revealed
that production declined at the subject firm in 1993 & during the first
six months of 1994 & that company imports & beds & accessories
increased during these time periods. However, the company imports were
not from Mexico or Canada.
NAFTA-TAA-00180; Occidental Chemical Corp., Agricultural Products
Group, White Springs, FL
The investigation revealed that criteria (1) was not met in
conjunction with the requirements of Section 506(b)(2) of the Act. No
worker separations occurred at the subject firm on or after December 8,
1993, the earliest reachback date for coverage under the NAFTA-TAA
program.
NAFTA-TAA-00174; Keyes Fibre Co., Van Leer Corp., Sacramento, CA
The investigation revealed that criteria (3) and criteria (4) were
not met. Worker separations at the Sacramento, CA plant of Keyes Fibre
Co were a result of a corporate restructuring effort to utilize more
efficiently the capacity of all company plants. The production of
rough-molded products & smooth-molded FoodService products was
transferred from the subject plant to other domestic plants of Keyes
Fibre Co.
NAFTA-TAA-00179; Pet Connection, Gun Barrel City, TX
The investigation revealed that the workers of the subject firm did
not produce an article within the meaning of the Act. The Department of
Labor has consistently determined that the performance of services did
not constitute production of an article as required by the Trade Act of
1974.
Affirmative Determinations NAFTA-TAA

A certification was issued covering all workers of VistaLite
