Hollister, Inc., Kirksville
Manufacturing, Kirksville, MO; Notice
of Determination of Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on Remand
The U.S. Court of International Trade
(USCIT) granted the Secretary of Labor’s
motion for a voluntary remand for
further investigation in Former
Employees of Hollister, Inc. v. Elaine
Chao, U.S. Secretary of Labor, No. 04–
00262, on February 1, 2005.
The workers of Hollister, Inc.,
Kirksville Manufacturing, Kirksville,
Missouri (‘‘Hollister’’) were certified as
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) on February 11, 2004.
The Notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on
March 12, 2004 (69 FR 11890).
By letter dated March 19, 2004, the
United Automotive Workers, Local 710,
requested that Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) be
included in the TAA petition. The
request was dismissed because the
application for ATAA was not filed with
the TAA petition, as required by the
Secretary’s interpretation of Section 246
of the Trade Act, Training and
Employment Guidance Letter No. 2–03
(August 6, 2003). 69 FR 60904, October
13, 2004.
On June 28, 2004, the Plaintiff
appealed to the USCIT, asserting that
the workers were not provided the
assistance and opportunity to request
ATAA because the requirements for
applying for ATAA were ambiguous.
On October 29, 2004, the Department
issued Training and Employment
Guidance Letter No. 2–03, Change 2,
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:12 Mar 25, 2005
Jkt 205001
‘‘Requests for Certification under the
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) Program for Certain
Worker Groups Covered by Certified
TAA Petitions’’ (TEGL 2–03, Change 2).
70 FR 8829–02, February 23, 2005. The
Department’s new TEGL concerning the
filing of requests for group ATAA
certification provides that worker
groups whose petitions were still in
process at the time of implementation of
the ATAA program on August 6, 2003
and certified worker groups who filed
petitions which did not include an
option to apply for ATAA may request
group ATAA certification after the filing
of a TAA petition.
The Department construes the
Plaintiff’s letters as timely requests for
group ATAA certification under TEGL
2–03, Change 2. Accordingly, the
Department has conducted an
investigation to determine the workers’
eligibility to apply for ATAA
certification.
The group eligibility certification
criteria for the ATAA program under
Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (19
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, established
that the Department must determine
whether a significant number of workers
in the workers’ firm are 50 years of age
or older, whether the workers in the
workers’ firm possess skills that are not
easily transferable, and whether the
competitive conditions within the
workers’ industry are adverse.
The remand investigation revealed
that at least five percent of the
workforce at the subject firm is at least
fifty years of age, the workers possess
skills that are not easily transferable,
and competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts, I
conclude that the requirements of
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, have been met for workers at
the subject firm. In accordance with the
