Mueller Copper Tube Products, Inc.,
Subsidiary of Mueller Industries, Inc.,
Wynne, AR; Notice of Negative
Determination on Remand
The United States Court of
International Trade (USCIT) granted the
Secretary of Labor’s motion for a
voluntary remand in Former Employees
of Mueller Copper Tube Products, Inc. v.
Elaine Chao, U.S. Secretary of Labor,
Court No. 05–00442.
The Department’s initial negative
determination for the former workers of
Mueller Copper Tube Products, Inc., a
subsidiary of Mueller Industries, Inc.,
Wynne, Arkansas (hereafter ‘‘Mueller
Copper Tube Products’’) for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (‘‘TAA’’) was
issued on May 17, 2005. The Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on June 13, 2005 (70
FR 34154).
The petition for the workers of
Mueller Copper Tube Products engaged
in the production of copper tube
products was denied because the
‘‘contributed importantly’’ group
eligibility requirement of Section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was
not met, nor was there a shift in
production from that firm to a foreign
country. The ‘‘contributed importantly’’
test is generally demonstrated through a
E:\FR\FM\23NON1.SGM
23NON1
70886
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices
survey of the workers’ firm’s customers.
The survey revealed that customers of
the subject firm did not increase
reliance on imports of copper tube
products in 2003, 2004 and during the
period of January through March of
2005 over the corresponding 2003
period. The subject firm did not import
copper tube products nor did it shift
production to a foreign country during
the relevant period.
By letter of July 14, 2005 to the
USCIT, the Petitioners appealed the
denial alleging that the subject firm lost
its business due to other businesses
selling copper tubing manufactured in
Mexico.
A careful review of the documents
revealed that the Department surveyed
major declining customers of the subject
firm regarding their purchases of
‘‘copper tubing’’. In order to establish
import impact, the Department must
consider imports that are ‘‘like or
directly competitive’’ with those
produced at the subject firm. Because
the customer survey which specifies
copper tubing as a product might have
omitted information on other ‘‘like or
directly competitive’’ products, the
Department requested, and was granted,
a voluntary remand to conduct a further
investigation. The Order was issued on
September 13, 2005.
Hence, during the remand
investigation, the Department
conducted another survey of the subject
firm’s major declining customers
regarding their purchases of products
‘‘like or directly competitive’’ to copper
tubing manufactured by the subject firm
during the relevant time period. The
remand investigation revealed that the
major declining customers did not
increase their reliance on imports of
products ‘‘like or directly competitive’’
to copper tubing during the relevant
time period.
Conclusion
After reconsideration on remand, I
affirm the original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance for workers and
former workers of Mueller Copper Tube
Products, Inc., a subsidiary of Mueller
Industries, Inc., Wynne, Arkansas.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of
November, 2005.
