their components abroad or increased
imports of those articles during the
relevant period.
Information provided by the subject
firm revealed that the only articles
produced during the relevant period
were panels, trim and components, and
secondaries. AR 183, 194–195. As such,
the Department focused its remand
investigation on those articles produced
at the subject firm during the relevant
period. AR 195–201.
According to the subject firm, all trim
and component, secondaries, and panel
production at the subject facility had
ceased by April 2005 and had shifted to
a newly built facility in Jackson,
Tennessee. As anticipated by the subject
firm (AR 41–42), the production shift
began in February 2005 and finished in
May 2005. AR 184, 195. Information
provided by the subject firm revealed no
imports of panels (AR 186), trim and
components (AR 187), or secondaries
(AR 188). The previously conducted
customer survey covered the
appropriate products and revealed no
increased imports of any products
produced by the subject firm. AR 53–56,
67.
In response to the plaintiff’s assertion
that production had shifted to Mexico,
India and China, the company official
agreed that a representative of the
Mexico plant had visited the subject
firm. However, the reason for that visit
was related to securing replacement and
updated equipment for truss purlin
production in Mexico (an article not
produced at the subject firm during the
relevant period). AR 195. While some
production of component parts of these
articles did shift to Asia (China), that
shift occurred in 2003, which is prior to
the relevant period for this petition.
Further, those components were not
made during the relevant period at the
subject firm. AR 184, 195.
Because the remand investigation
revealed no imports of articles like or
directly competitive with panels, trim
and components, secondaries produced
by the workers of the subject firm by the
subject firm or its customers during the
relevant period and no shifts of
production of those articles abroad
during the relevant period, the statutory
requirements of neither Section
222(a)(1) and (2)(a) nor Section 222(a)(1)
and (2)(B) of the Trade Act or 1974, as
amended, were met, and the Department
cannot certify the subject workers as
eligible to apply for TAA. Further, since
the workers are not eligible to apply for
TAA, the workers cannot be found
eligible to apply for ATAA under
Section 246(a)(3)(B)(i) of that law.
