The Timkin Company Canton, Ohio and The Timkin Company Wooster, 
Ohio; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On August 17, 1999, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration, applicable to 
workers of the subject firm locations in Canton and Wooster, Ohio. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 31, 1999 (64 FR 
47525).
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers producing specialty 
alloy steel and tapered roller bearings and components of The Timkin 
Company in Wooster and Canton, Ohio, 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 conducted further survey of the 
major declining customers of The Timkin Company regarding their 
purchases of specialty carbon and alloy steel and tapered roller 
bearings and components. The survey revealed that customers accounting 
for a meaningful share of the subject firm's sales decline during the 
relevant time period, increased import purchases of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced by

workers at the Canton and Wooster plants.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with specialty steel and tapered roller bearings 
and components, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or 
production and to the total or partial separation of workers of The 
Timkin Company, Canton, Ohio and Wooster, Ohio. In accordance with the 
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of The Timkin Company, Canton, Ohio and Wooster, 
Ohio, engaged in employment related to the production of specialty 
steel or tapered roller bearings and components, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after March 2, 1998 
through two years from the date of the issuance of this 
determination, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 13th day of October 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
