DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-39,453]

 
The Arnold Engineering Company Ferrite Products Division 
Sevierville, TN; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On January 18, 2002, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on February 5, 2002 (67 FR 5295).
    On September 25, 2001 the Department initially denied TAA to 
workers of The Arnold Engineering Company, Ferrite Products Division, 
Sevierville, Tennessee producing ceramic hard ferrite magnets because 
the ``contributed importantly'' group eligibility requirement of 
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met.
    On reconsideration, the department surveyed additional customers of 
the subject plant regarding their purchases of ceramic hard ferrite 
magnets during the relevant period. The survey revealed that major 
declining customer(s) increased their imports of ceramic hard ferrite 
magnets, while decreasing their purchases from the subject plant during 
the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with ceramic hard ferrite magnets, contributed 
importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or 
partial separation of workers of The Arnold Engineering Company, 
Ferrite Products Division, Sevierville, Tennessee. In accordance with 
the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of The Arnold Engineering Company, Ferrite Products 
Division, Sevierville, Tennessee who became totally or partially 
separated from employed on or after May 30, 2000 through two years 
of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 11th day of February 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
