BASF Corporation Freeport, TX; Notice
of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On January 12, 2005, the Department
of Labor issued a Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration applicable to the
subject firm. The Notice will soon be
published in the Federal Register.
The initial investigation found that
workers are separately identifiable by
product line (polycaprolactum, oxo,
diols, and acrylic monomers), that
polycaprolactum, oxo and diol
production increased during the
relevant period, and that the subject
company neither increased imports of
acrylic monomers during the relevant
period nor shifted acrylic monomer
production abroad.
The petitioner asserted in the request
for reconsideration that the worker
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, subject facility production
ceased in December 2003, production
shifted to an affiliated facility located in
Europe, and the subject firm increased
their reliance on imports during the
relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that
the criteria for alternative trade
adjustment assistance have been met. 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 increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at BASF Corporation,
Freeport, Texas 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
BILLING CODE 4510–30–P
VerDate jul<14>2003
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.

Dan River, Inc., 1325 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, NY; Dan River,
Inc., Boonsville, MI; Dan River, Inc.,
High Point, NC; Dan River, Inc., Walnut
Creek, CA; Amended Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on November 5, 2004,
applicable to Dan River, Inc., 1325
Avenue of the Americas, New York,
New York. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on December 9,
2004 (69 FR 71429).
At the request of a company official,
the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject
firm. New information provided by the
firm shows that some employees
separated from employment with Dan
River, Inc., 1325 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York, were
located in Boonsville, Mississippi, High
Point, North Carolina and Walnut Creek,
California. These workers provided
sales and marketing support services for
the production of home furnishing
textiles produced by Dan River, Inc.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include employees of the
1325 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, New York location of Dan River,
Inc., located in Boonsville, Mississippi,
High Point, North Carolina, and Walnut
Creek, California.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Dan River, Inc. who were adversely
affected by a shift in production to
China and Mexico.
