Bosch-Rexroth Corporation, Mobile Hydraulics Division, Wooster, OH; Dismissal of Application for Reconsideration, 6456 [E5-454]

Download as PDF 6456 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 24 / Monday, February 7, 2005 / Notices separations at the subject firm were the result of a shift of production of acrylic monomers to China. During the reconsideration investigation, it was found that workers are not separately identifiable by product line and that acrylic monomer production declined during the relevant period. New information provided by the subject company revealed that company imports of acrylic monomer increased after the company shifted acrylic monomer production to China in 2004. The investigation also revealed that all criteria have been met in regard to alternative trade adjustment assistance. A significant number or proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over and workers possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reconsideration, I conclude that a shift of production to China followed by increased imports of acrylic monomers contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of BASF Corporation, Freeport, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 30, 2003, through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

The Department’s Notice was published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2005 (70 FR 3226). The petition for the workers of CDI Professional Services, workers at General Dynamics Land Systems, California Technical Center, Goleta, California was terminated because the petitioning workers were covered by an earlier denial (TA–W–55,658) and no new information or change in circumstances was evident to warrant a reversal of the previous determination. The petitioner contends that the Department erred in its determination and alleges that the workers support Saudi Arabia National Guard (SANG) turret production which shifted from Goleta, California to London, Canada. A company official was contacted for clarification in regard to the nature of the work performed by the subject worker group. The official stated that the subject workers were engaged in the engineering, designing and repair of SANG turrets. SANG turrets are produced in Australia and then sent to Canada to be attached to the appropriate vehicle. The official further clarified that work related to the SANG turrets PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 By letter dated December 9, 2004, a company official requested administrative reconsideration regarding the Department’s Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance applicable to the workers of the subject firm. The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination issued on November 9, 2004, based on the finding that petitioning workers did not produce an article within the relevant time period. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71428). To support the request for reconsideration, the company official supplied additional information. Upon further review, it was revealed that the petitioning workers were members of the workforce that was certified eligible for TAA benefits, whose certification expired on October 11, 2004. The investigation revealed that petitioning workers remained employed at the subject facility after the stoppage of the production and beyond the date of the TAA certification for the purpose of completion of the transfer of the inventory and removal of the remaining equipment from the subject facility.
