DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

[TA–W–55,175]
Levi Strauss and Company, Knoxville,
TN; Notice of Revised Determination
on Remand
The United States Court of
International Trade (USCIT) granted the
Department’s motion for voluntary
remand for further investigation in
Former Employees of Levi Strauss and
Company v. U.S. Secretary of Labor
(Court No. 04–00580).
The Department’s denial of the initial
petition for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) was
issued on July 27, 2004. The Notice of
negative determination was published
in the Federal Register on August 10,
2004 (69 FR 48530). The denial was
based on the finding that the subject
worker group did not produce an article
within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2)
of the Act and did not support
production of an article by Levi Straus
and Company, Knoxville, Tennessee or
an appropriate subdivision of Levi
Straus and Company.
By letter dated August 27, 2004, the
petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration, contending that the
workers supported a qualifying
production facility: Levi Straus, Powell,
Tennessee. Because the Department’s
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
questions to the subject company
whether the subject workers supported
any domestic production facility was
responded in the negative, the
Department affirmed the initial
determination. On September 17, 2004,
the Department denied the petitioner’s
request for reconsideration because no
production occurred at Levi Strauss and
Company, Powell, Tennessee during the
twelve-month period prior to the
petition date (April 15, 2004). The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on October 8, 2004
(69 FR 60430).
By letter dated November 10, 2004,
the petitioner filed an appeal with the
USCIT, alleging that the subject worker
group supported a TAA-certified facility
during the twelve-month period prior to
the petition date of April 15, 2004: Levi
Strauss and Company, San Antonio,
Texas (TA–W–41,377E).
In order to investigate the petitioner’s
new allegation, the Department filed a
motion for voluntary remand. In an
Order issued on January 20, 2005, the
USCIT granted the Department’s
motion.
The Department conducted a remand
investigation in order to determine
whether the subject worker group met
the criteria set forth in the Trade Act of
1974 for TAA certification as primarilyaffected workers. Section 222(a) of the
Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2272(a)) provides:
A group of workers (including workers in
any agricultural firm or subdivision of an
agricultural firm) shall be certified by the
Secretary as eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under this part pursuant to a
petition filed under section 2271 of this title
if the Secretary determines that—

increase in imports of articles that are like or
directly competitive with articles which are

and obtained detailed supplemental
responses from the company. In
particular, the new information

at the subject facility and confirmed by
