DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-35, 935]

 
Suckle Corporation, Scranton, PA; Notice of Negative 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On September 17, 1999, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The petitioner presented a list 
of additional customers decreasing purchases from the subject firm. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on September 29, 1999 (64 
FR 52545).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers producing computer 
chassis at Suckle Corporation, Scranton, Pennsylvania because the 
``contributed importantly'' group eligibility requirement of Section 
222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met. The 
investigation revealed that none of the major customers were decreasing 
purchases from Suckle Corporation while increasing import purchases of 
computer chassis during the period under investigation.
    The Department attempted to survey those customers identified by 
the petitioners as no longer buying computer chassis from the subject 
firm. Of those firms that were not included in the initial customer 
survey, the

Department found that some customers did not purchase from the subject 
firm in the time period relevant to the investigation, and others were 
no longer in business. The Department was unable to locate any 
information from the customers that were out of business.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for workers adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Suckle Corporation, Scranton, 
Pennsylvania.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 7th day of December 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
