Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 50 / Wednesday, March 16, 2005 / Notices
previous investigation of this case. The
subject worker group can be certified as
eligible to apply for TAA as adversely
affected secondary workers only if
Murray Engineering either: (1) Supplied
components or unfinished or semifinished goods to a firm employing
workers who are covered by a
certification of eligibility for adjustment
assistance; or (2) assembled or finished
products made by such a firm. In the
case at hand, neither criterion is met
because Murray Engineering did no
assembly or finishing work, nor did any
of Murray Engineering’s customers’
workers receive a certification of
eligibility to apply for TAA during the
relevant time period.
In order to be eligible as suppliers of
components or unfinished or semifinished goods, as petitioner claims the
subject worker group to be, the subject
worker group must have produced a
component part of the product that is
the basis of the TAA certification.
Because Murray Engineering did not
produce a component part of a final
product, they were not secondary
suppliers of a TAA-certified facility, as
required by section 222(b) of the Trade
Act. Even if the design specifications
were sometimes mounted or affixed to
their customers’ manufacturing
equipment, the display of the design
specifications on the equipment is not
necessary for the equipment to function
properly and does not enhance the
equipment’s performance; thus, the
designs are not component parts.
Further, Murray Engineering did no
business with a TAA-certified company
during the relevant time period. The
petitioning worker specifically claims
that Murray Engineering provided
designs to Lamb Technicon, a TAAcertified company (TA–W–40,267 &
TA–W–40,267A). However, Murray
Engineering did business with Lamb
Technicon most recently in 1999, which
is before the relevant time period for the
Murray Engineering petition at issue in
this case. Therefore, Lamb Technicon’s
certification (TA–W–40,267 & TA–W–
40,267A) is not a valid basis for
certifying Murray Engineering workers
as adversely affected secondary workers
eligible to apply for TAA.
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 Murray Engineering,
Inc., Complete Design Service, Flint,
Michigan.
