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.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
