Iberia Sugar Cooperative, Inc., New
Iberia, LA; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
By letter dated September 21, 2005 a
company official requested
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.’’

Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated on
September 9, 2005 in response to a
worker petition filed by a company
official on behalf of workers at JBL
Resources, Rockford, Michigan.
An active certification covering the
petitioning group of workers is already

Consequently, further investigation in

notice. Upon receipt of these petitions,
the Director of the Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance, Employment
and Training Administration, has
instituted investigations pursuant to
Section 221(a) of the Act.
The purpose of each of the
investigations is to determine whether
the workers are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under title II,
chapter 2, of the Act. The investigations
will further relate, as appropriate, to the
determination of the date on which total
or partial separations began or
threatened to begin and the subdivision
of the firm involved.
The petitioners or any other persons
showing a substantial interest in the
subject matter of the investigations may
request a public hearing, provided such
request is filed in writing with the
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment
Assistance, at the address shown below,
not later than October 17, 2005.
Interested persons are invited to
