subject firm. The subject firm did not
shift production of custom injection
molding abroad.
Conclusion
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed at Washington, DC this 13th day of
January, 2006.

Polyvision Corporation; 13646 Route
402 Highway North Facility; Clymer,
PA; 2170 Barr Slope Road Facility;
Dixonville, PA; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
By letter dated December 5, 2005,
Greater Pennsylvania Regional Council
of Carpenters 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
October 21, 2005 and was based on the
finding that imports of casework
cabinets, marker and tack boards 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 Register on
November 9, 2005 (70 FR 68099).
To support the request for
reconsideration, the petitioner supplied
additional information. The Department
of Labor reviewed surveys of the firms
to which the subject facility submitted
bids and was not subsequently awarded
the contracts. A further contact with the
surveyed companies revealed the fact
that all the bids were awarded to
domestic bidders who manufacture case
work cabinets, market boards and tack
boards abroad. The loss of these
contracts as a result of increased
imports of case work cabinets, market
boards and tack boards contributed

importantly to the declines in sales and
employment at the subject firm. The
investigation further revealed that sales,
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
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 Polyvision
Corporation, Clymer, Pennsylvania
(TA–W–57,945) and Polyvision
Corporation, Dixonville, Pennsylvania
(TA–W–57,945A), 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 Polyvision Corporation,
Clymer, Pennsylvania (TA–W–57,945) and
Polyvision Corporation, Dixonville,
Pennsylvania (TA–W–57,945A) who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 8, 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.’’
Signed in Washington, DC this 13th day of
January 2006.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

Texstyle, Inc., Manchester, KY; Notice
of Affirmative Determination Regarding

By application of October 17, 2005,
petitioners requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to workers of
TexStyle, Inc., Manchester, Kentucky
(the subject firm). The negative
determination for the subject firm was
issued on September 15, 2005, and
published in the Federal Register on
October 31, 2005 (70 FR 62345).
Under a prior certification (TA–W–
51,404), workers were eligible to apply
for worker adjustment assistance (issued
on April 21, 2003; expired on April 21,
2005). The investigation instituted on
August 25, 2005, revealed that the
workers did not produce an article or
support an affiliated domestic
production facility during the relevant
period.
New information provided on
December 1, 2005 by the subject firm
revealed that some production did occur
at TexStyle, Inc., Manchester, Kentucky
during the relevant period.
The Department carefully reviewed
the petitioners’ request for
reconsideration and has determined that
the Department will conduct further
investigation based on new information
provided by the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. The application
is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day
of December 2005.
