Kokoku Wire Industries, South Bend,
IN; Notice of Negative Determination
on Reconsideration
On December 7, 2004, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on December 20, 2004 (69 FR 76016).
The Department initially denied
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) to
workers of Kokoku Wire Industries,
South Bend, Indiana (‘‘Kokoku Wire’’)
because the ‘‘contributed importantly’’
and shift of production group eligibility
requirements of Section 222(3) of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, were
not met. The initial investigation
revealed that neither the subject
company nor its customers increased
import purchases of steel wire for
automotive control cables during the
relevant period and that there was no
PO 00000

shift of production. The Department
also denied Alternate Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) to workers since the
workers were not certified eligible for
TAA.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that the subject’s
major customers increased import
purchases during the relevant time
period.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department carefully
reviewed the record, requested
additional information from the subject
company, and conducted another, more
extensive customer survey regarding
purchases of steel wire for automotive
control cables during 2002, 2003,
January through August 2003 and
January through August 2004.
A careful review of the record
confirms that the subject company’s
inability to secure raw materials was a
determining factor for the plant closure
in July 2004.
Additional information provided by
the company official revealed that the
subject company had a group of smaller
customers who decreased purchases
during the investigatory period. A
survey of those customers revealed no
imports of steel wire for automotive
control cables during the relevant
period.
An investigation for ATAA
certification eligibility was not
conducted because the workers are not
certified for TAA.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Kokoku
Wire Industries, South Bend, Indiana.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of
February 2005.
