<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 193 / Thursday, October 6, 2005 / Notices
support the allegation that workers of
the subject firm produce an article.
A company official was contacted for
clarification in regard to the nature of
the work performed at the subject
facility. The official stated the
petitioning group of workers at the
subject firm was responsible for
software development, in particular
design, programming, testing and
maintenance/support. The official
further clarified that customers can
either access and download software via
the Internet or purchase CD–ROMs with
the desktop software. The official stated
that the desktop client software
developed at the subject firm is mass
produced in a CD form for further
distribution to customers.
The sophistication of the work
involved is not an issue in ascertaining
whether the petitioning workers are
eligible for trade adjustment assistance,
but rather only whether they produced
an article within the meaning of section
222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Technical writing design,
programming and testing of the software
is not considered production of an
article within the meaning of Section
222 of the Trade Act. Petitioning
workers do not produce an ‘‘article’’
within the meaning of the Trade Act of
1974. Information electronic databases,
technical documentation and codes, are
not tangible commodities, and they are
not listed on the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), as
classified by the United States
International Trade Commission
(USITC), Office of Tariff Affairs and
Trade Agreements, which describes
articles imported to the United States.
To be listed in the HTS, an article
would be subject to a duty on the tariff
schedule and have a value that makes it
marketable, fungible and
interchangeable for commercial
purposes. Although a wide variety of
tangible products are described as
articles and characterized as dutiable in
the HTS, informational products that
could historically be sent in letter form
and that can currently be electronically
transmitted are not listed in the HTS.
Such products are not the type of
products that customs officials inspect
and that the TAA program was generally
designed to address.
The investigation on reconsideration
supported the findings of the primary
investigation that the petitioning group
of workers does not produce an article.
However, it was revealed that electronic
desktop software created by the subject
company is recorded on media devices
(CD–ROMs) for further mass-production
and distribution. Thus, it was
determined that the petitioning group of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:52 Oct 05, 2005
Jkt 208001
service workers support production of
CD–ROMs containing software.
The Department conducted an
additional investigation to determine
whether workers can be considered
eligible for TAA as directly-impacted
workers in support of production of CD–
ROMs containing desktop software.
The group eligibility requirements for
directly-impacted (primary) workers
under section 222(a) the Trade Act of
1974, as amended, can be satisfied in
either of two ways:
I. Section (a)(2)(A) all of the following
must be satisfied:
A. A significant number or proportion
of the workers in such workers’ firm, or
an appropriate subdivision of the firm,
have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
B. The sales or production, or both, of
such firm or subdivision have decreased
absolutely; and
C. Increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with articles
produced by such firm or subdivision
have contributed importantly to such
workers’ separation or threat of
separation and to the decline in sales or
production of such firm or subdivision;
or
II. Section (a)(2)(B) both of the
following must be satisfied:
A. A significant number or proportion
of the workers in such workers’ firm, or
an appropriate subdivision of the firm,
have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
B There has been a shift in production
by such workers’ firm or subdivision to
a foreign country of articles like or
directly competitive with articles which
are produced by such firm or
subdivision; and
C. One of the following must be
satisfied:
1. The country to which the workers’
firm has shifted production of the
articles is a party to a free trade
agreement with the United States;
2. The country to which the workers’
firm has shifted production of the
articles is a beneficiary country under
the Andean Trade Preference Act,
African Growth and Opportunity Act, or
the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery
Act; or
3. There has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of articles that are
like or directly competitive with articles
which are or were produced by such
firm or subdivision.
The investigation of Galileo
International, Travel Distribution
Services, Centennial, Colorado, revealed
that criteria (I.B) and (II.B) were not met.
According to the information provided
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
58475
by the company official, sales and
production of CD–ROMs containing
desktop software did not decline during
the relevant time period. Moreover, the
subject firm did not shift production
abroad, nor did it increase company
imports of CD–ROMs containing
desktop software, during the relevant
period.
The petitioner further alleges that
because workers lost their jobs due to a
transfer of job functions to India,
petitioning workers should be
considered import impacted.
The company official stated that
coding and programming job functions
were outsourced to a third party joint
venture in India. The official also stated
that all design documents and other
documentation written in India is
returned to the United States through
electronic mail or Internet.
Technical writing of informational
documentation that is electronically
transmitted is not considered
production within the context of TAA
eligibility requirements, so there are no
imports of products in this instance.
Further, as the PDF files and technical
documentation do not become products
until they are recorded on media device,
there was no shift in production of an
‘‘article’’ abroad within the meaning of
the Trade Act of 1974.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Galileo
International, Travel Distribution
Services, Centennial, Colorado.
Signed at Washington, DC this 20th day of
September, 2005.

Adjustment Assistance.

administrative reconsideration
regarding the Department’s Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to the workers of
the subject firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on
August 8, 2005 was based on the finding
that imports of raw cane sugar and
blackstrap molasses did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject plant and no shift of production
to a foreign source occurred. The denial
notice was published in the Federal
Frm 00112
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Register on September 8, 2005 (70 FR
53389).
To support the request for
reconsideration, the company official
supplied additional information. Upon
further review and contact with the
subject firm’s major declining
customers, it was revealed that the
customers increased their reliance on
imported raw cane sugar and blackstrap
molasses during the relevant period.
The imports accounted for a meaningful
portion of the subject plant’s lost sales
and production. The investigation
further revealed that production and
employment at the subject firm declined
during the relevant time period.
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
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
PO 00000
58481
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Iberia Sugar
Cooperative, Inc., New Iberia, Louisiana,
contributed importantly to the declines
in sales or production and to the total
or partial separation of workers at the
subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
‘‘All workers of Iberia Sugar Cooperative,
Inc., New Iberia, Louisiana who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 20, 2004
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, and are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.’’
