Rubbermaid-Cortland, Incorporation Cortland, New York; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

By letter of August 11, 1998, the petitioners requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to petition number TA-W-34, 326. The denial notice was signed on June 16, 1998 and published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1998 (63 FR 37590).

The petitioners allege that the subject firm shifted production of toolboxes to Canada and Europe and imported into the U.S. and further, that imports of toolboxes and other household products from other countries impacted on the subject firm's market share.

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 25th day of August 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
