Nazdar, Chicago, Illinois; Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration

On September 21, 1998, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of the subject firm. The petitioner presented new evidence that the customer survey undertaken by the Department did not reflect declining customers. The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 9, 1998 (63 FR 54499).

The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Nazdar because the ``contributed importantly'' group eligibility requirement of Section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met. The workers at the subject firm were engaged in employment related to the production of screen printing ink.

On reconsideration, the Department requested that Nazdar provide additional customers. A survey of customers which had reduced purchases from the Chicago facility of Nazdar was conducted. Surveyed customers did not purchase imported screen printing inks during the relevant period.

Conclusion

After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative determination regarding eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance for workers and former workers of Nazdar, Chicago, Illinois.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of November 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
