U.S. Secretary of Labor, USCIT 03–00219. The Department concludes that the subject worker group does not qualify for eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) benefits. There was neither a shift of production, nor increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced at the subject facility, as required under section 222(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (Trade Act). The workers also do not qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under section 222(b) of the Trade Act. On January 15, 2003, a petition was filed on behalf of workers of Murray Engineering, Inc., Complete Design Service, Flint, Michigan (‘‘Murray Engineering’’) for TAA. The petition stated that workers design automotive gauges, tools, fixtures, and dies. The Department’s initial negative determination for the former workers of PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Murray Engineering was issued on February 5, 2003. The Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2003 (68 FR 8620). The Department’s determination was based on the finding that workers provided industrial design and engineering services and did not produce an article within the meaning of Section 222 of the Trade Act. In a letter dated February 19, 2003, the petitioner requested administrative reconsideration of the Department’s negative determination. The petitioner alleged that Murray Engineering produced a ‘‘tangible drawing essential and integral to the making or building of a product’’ and that the Department was misled by the word ‘‘Service’’ in the company’s name. The Department denied the petitioner’s request for reconsideration on March 31, 2003, stating that the engineering drawings, schematics, and electronically generated information prepared by the subject worker group were not considered production within the meaning of the Trade Act. The Department further stated that the fact that the information is generated on paper is irrelevant to worker group eligibility for TAA. The Department’s Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration was published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2003 (68 FR 18264). By letter of April 30, 2003, the petitioner appealed the Department’s denial of eligibility to apply for TAA to the USCIT, asserting that ‘‘machine drawings (plans) are an article.’’ The petitioner asserted that the subject worker group should be eligible to apply for TAA due to imports of like or directly competitive articles and, alternatively, because they are adversely affected secondary workers. The Department filed a motion requesting that the USCIT remand the case to the Department for further investigation, and the USCIT granted the motion. The Department issued its Notice of Negative Determination on Remand on August 20, 2003. The Notice was published in the Federal Register on September 10, 2003 (68 FR 53395). The remand determination stated that the workers did not produce an article and were not eligible for certification as workers producing an article affected either by a shift of production or by imports, or as adversely affected secondary workers. On May 4, 2004, the USCIT remanded the matter to the Department for further investigation, directing the Department to investigate: (1) The nature of the E:\FR\FM\16MRN1.SGM 16MRN1
