The certification review revealed that
workers of Black & Decker are covered
by an existing certification, TA–W–
56,049, issued on December 16, 2004,
which expires on December 16, 2006.
Since the workers of Black & Decker,
Power Tools Division, Fayetteville,
North Carolina, including on-site leased
workers of Employment Control, Inc.,
are covered by an existing certification,
further investigation in this case would
serve no purpose, and the investigation
has been terminated.

CTNA Akron Test Center, a Subsidiary
Of Continental Tire North America
(CTNA), Inc., Akron, OH; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
By application of May 25, 2005,
petitioners requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility for workers and former
workers of the subject firm to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA). The denial notice
was signed on May 13, 2005 and
published in the Federal Register on
June 13, 2005 (70 FR 34154).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The TAA petition, filed on behalf of
workers at CTNA Akron Test Center, a
subsidiary of Continental Tire North
America, Inc., Akron, Ohio engaged in
testing services was denied because the
petitioning workers did not produce an
article within the meaning of Section
222 of the Act.
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
The petitioner contends that the
Department erred in its interpretation of
work performed at the subject facility as
a service and further conveys that the
petitioning group of workers was in
direct support of CTNA manufacturing
facility in Mayfield, Kentucky. The
workers of CTNA, Mayfield, Kentucky
were certified eligible for TAA on July
7, 2003. CTNA plant in Mayfield,
Kentucky ceased production of tires and
shifted it to Mexico in December 2004.
A company official was contacted for
clarification in regard to the nature of
the work performed at the subject
facility. The company official stated that
workers of the subject facility performed
quality testing on finished tires to
ensure compliance to DOT
requirements. Thus, the workers were
engaged in activities related to the
production of tires.
The official further confirmed that
workers of the subject firm supported
production of tires at an affiliated plant,
CTNA plant located in Mayfield,
Kentucky prior to its closure in
December of 2004.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that there was a shift in
production from the workers’ firm or
subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of the CTNA Akron Test
Center, a subsidiary of Continental Tire
North America, Inc., Akron, Ohio who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 4, 2005 through
two years from the date of this certification,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974,
