terminating the certification for TA–W–

The petitioners are encouraged to file

Since the basis for the certification is

Louisiana Pacific Corporation, OSBWoodland, Baileyville, ME; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration of Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance
6457
By letter dated January 24, 2005, the
state official requested administrative
reconsideration regarding Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA).
The negative determination was signed
on January 10, 2005 and will be soon
published in the Federal Register.
The workers of Louisiana Pacific
Corporation, OSB-Woodland,
Baileyville, Maine were certified eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) on January 10, 2005.
The initial ATAA investigation
determined that the skills of the subject
worker group are easily transferable to
other positions in the local area.
The state official provided
documentation with the request for
reconsideration which contains
evidence that the skills of the workers
at the subject firm are not easily
transferable in the local commuting
area.
Additional investigation has
determined that the workers possess
skills that are not easily transferable. A
significant number or proportion of the
worker group are age fifty or over.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.

Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance issued by the
Department on January 7, 2005,
applicable to all workers of Pentair
Pump, South Plant (Hydromatic),

The State agency informed the
Department that the worker group is
covered by an existing certification, TA–
W–51,215, that was issued on April 28,
2003. A review of the files shows that
the petition certification for TA–W–
51,215 was issued under the company
name Hydromatic Pump in Ashland,
Ohio, and remains in effect through
April 28, 2005.
Since the workers are currently
covered by a certification and are
eligible to apply for trade adjustment

Royal Home Fashions Plant No. 6,
Henderson, NC; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
By application of November 22, 2004,
a petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility for workers and former
workers of the subject firm to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA). The denial notice
was signed on October 25, 2004 and
published in the Federal Register on
November 12, 2004 (69 FR 65462).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The TAA petition, filed on behalf of
workers at Royal Home Fashions, Plant
No. 6, Henderson, North Carolina
engaged in production of bedding
(sheets, pillow cases, comforters, shams,
etc.) was denied because it was
determined that the declines in
employment at the subject firm were
predominantly caused by unrelated to
imports circumstances.
The petitioner alleges that the
petitioning group of workers was in
direct support of the Royal Home
Fashions manufacturing facilities
known as Plant No. 4 and Plant No. 2
in Henderson, North Carolina. The
workers of these facilities were certified
eligible for TAA on July 15, 2004 and
August 24, 2004 respectively.
A company official was contacted to
verify whether workers at the subject
facility were performing services for
Plant No. 4 and Plant No. 2 during the
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
relevant period. The company official
stated that the subject facility serves as
a distribution and warehousing facility
and is in direct support of production
for Plants No. 2 and No. 4 in Henderson,
North Carolina.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers of Royal Home Fashions, Plant
No. 6, Henderson, North Carolina.
The group eligibility criteria for the
ATAA program that the Department
must consider under Section 246 of the
Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of
workers in the workers’ firm are 50
years of age or older.
2. Whether the workers in the
workers’ firm possess skills that are not
easily transferable.
3. The competitive conditions within
the workers’ industry (i.e., conditions
within the industry are adverse).
The Department has determined that
criterion 2 has not been met. The
investigation revealed that the work
performed by the petitioning group are
easily transferable to other positions in
the commuting area.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that increases of imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced by Royal Home
Fashions, Henderson, North Carolina
contributed importantly to the total or
partial separation of workers and to the
decline in sales or production at that
firm or subdivision. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of the Royal Home Fashions,
Plant 6, Henderson, North Carolina who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 24, 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 denied
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of
January, 2005.
