Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 22, 2005 / Notices
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice will soon be published in the
Federal Register.
The previous investigation initiated
on October 6, 2004, resulted in a
negative determination issued on
November 8, 2004, based on the finding
that imports of paperboard rolls did not
contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm and no
shift of production to a foreign source
occurred. The denial notice was
published in the Federal Register on
December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71428).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding subject firm’s
customers. Upon further review, it was
revealed that the Department did not
request a list of declining domestic
customers during the initial
investigation due to the understanding
that the subject firm produced
paperboard rolls to satisfy the in-house
demand.
Having conducted a detailed
investigation on reconsideration, it was
established that the subject firm
supplied a number of affiliated facilities
with low-density paperboard. The
Department surveyed these facilities as
customers of the subject firm. It was
revealed that the major declining
customer absolutely increased its
imports of low-density paperboard in
the relevant period. The imports
accounted for a meaningful portion of
the subject plant’s lost sales and
production.
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.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of section 246 of the Trade
Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the
requirements of section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and 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 increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Rock-Tenn Company,
Otsego, Michigan, contributed
importantly to the declines in sales or

production and to the total or partial
separation of workers at the subject
firm. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following
certification:
All workers of Rock-Tenn Company,
Otsego, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after September 29, 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
eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.

February 2005.
