<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 26, 2005 / Notices
an affidavit dated November 24, 2004, a
petitioner stated that she was separated
from the subject company on February
3, 2002; that she worked in the sample
and trim departments; that workers
were sent to train workers in Mexico;
that workers came from Mexico for
training from 2000 through 2002; and
that production equipment moved to
Mexico. SAR 280.
Although the October 1, 2004 letter
did not provide dates of the alleged
activities and the November 24, 2004
affidavit was provided by a worker who
is not, in fact, a member of the subject
worker group (she was separated prior
to February 11, 2002), the Department
nonetheless inquired into whether any
of the alleged actions took place during
the relevant period in case they could
constitute a basis for TAA certification.
According to the company’s
submissions, workers in Mexico were
trained in preparation for the shift of the
‘‘Print Shop’’ label production, trained
to use the new ABS computer system to
improve production operations, and
trained to design patterns and markers.
SAR 212, 232. As previously stated, the
Department considers the design of
patterns and markers to be service work,
not the production of an article, so any
shift of such design work would be
irrelevant. Further, a marker design
facility was not created in Mexico until
March 2004, well after the relevant
period. SAR 242.
As directed, the Department also
investigated whether the subject
workers could be certified as either
service workers or secondarily-impacted
workers and determined that there was
no activity at the subject facilities that
could constitute a basis for certification
under either category.
A careful review of the company’s
submissions shows that, during the
relevant period, the El Paso, Texas
facilities did not support a domestic
production facility negatively-impacted
by increased imports or a shift of
production abroad and, therefore, do not
qualify as a service company. Further,
since none of the three El Paso, Texas
facilities supplied components to or
assemble and/or finish products for an
affiliated domestic production facility
negatively-impacted by increased
imports or a shift of production abroad
during the relevant period, the
petitioners do not qualify as a
secondarily-affected worker group.
Rather, the three El Paso, Texas facilities
supported a production facility located
in Mexico. SAR 237, 274.
In summary, the remand investigation
has enabled the Department to
determine comprehensively that (1)
patterns and markers were generated

and transmitted electronically; (2)
production of samples was shifted from
the Armour Facility to California, not to
Mexico; (3) there has been no
importation of samples; (4) samples
have been produced for internal use
only and have no impact on imports;
and (5) there has been no production of
jeans by the subject facilities since 2000
(prior to the relevant period).
Conclusion
As the result of the findings of the
investigation on remand, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance for workers and
former workers of Sun Apparel of Texas,
Inc., Armour Facility, El Paso, Texas
(TA–W–51,120), Sun Warehouse
Facility, El Paso, Texas (TA–W–
51,120A), and Goodyear Distribution, El
Paso, Texas (TA–W–51,120B).
