Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 10, 1997, 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 October 24 1997 (62 FR 55424).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of Dana Corporation, 
Spicer Trailer Products, Berwick, Pennsylvania, producing leaf springs 
because the ``contributed importantly'' group eligibility requirement 
of Section 223(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met.
    On reconsideration, the Department conducted further survey 
analysis of major customers of Dana Corporation, Spicer Trailer 
Products. The survey revealed that a former major customer reduced 
purchases of leaf springs from the Berwick plant and increased 
purchases from a firm which increased its imports of leaf springs 
similar to the articles produced at the Berwick plant.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with leaf springs, contributed importantly to the 
declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation 
of workers of Dana Corporation, Spicer Trailer Products. In accordance 
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Dana Corporation, Spicer Trailer Products, 
Berwick, Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after August 7, 1996 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 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
