Joy Technologies, Inc. DBA Joy Mining
Machinery Mt. Vernon Plant, Mt.
Vernon, Illinoi; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On November 16, 2005, the
Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
Notice of determination regarding Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) was published in
the Federal Register on December 15,
2005 (70 FR 74373).
The International Brotherhood of
Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders,
Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers, Local
483, (‘‘Union’’) filed a petition on behalf
of workers producing underground
mining machinery (i.e. shuttle cars,
electrical motors, gearboxes, and
armored face conveyors) at the subject
facility. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product line.
The initial investigation revealed that
sales and employment at the subject
facility increased in 2004 from 2003
levels, that sales remained stable in
January through July 2005 over the
corresponding 2004 period, and that
VerDate Aug<31>2005

employment increased during January
through July 2005 over the
corresponding 2004 period. Companywide sales increased during January
through July 2005 from January through
July 2005 levels.
The investigation also revealed that
the subject firm did not import articles
like or directly competitive with those
produced at the subject firm or shift
production abroad. The Department
determined that the worker separations
at the subject firm are attributable to the
firm’s shift in production from the
subject facility to another domestic
production facility.
In a letter dated November 3, 2005,
two workers and the Union requested
administrative reconsideration. The
request stated that the subject facility is
‘‘an upstream supplier to the Joy Mining
Machinery facility’’ located in Franklin,
Pennsylvania and alleged that
component production is being shifted
to Mexico.
While the Union had filed the petition
as primarily-affected (affected by
imports or production shift of articles
produced at the subject facility), the
request for reconsideration is based on
a secondarily-affected position (affected
by loss of business as a supplier/
assembler/finisher of products or
components for a TAA certified firm).
Although the request for reconsideration
is beyond the scope of the petition, the
Department conducted an investigation
to address the workers’ and Union’s
allegations.
As part of the reconsideration
investigation, the Department contacted
the petitioning workers, Union
representatives, and the subject
company for additional information and
clarification of previously-submitted
information.
Joy Mining Machinery, Franklin,
Pennsylvania, was certified for TAA on
January 19, 2000 (expired January 19,
2002). Because the investigation
revealed that employment, sales and
production levels at the Franklin,
Pennsylvania facility increased during
relevant period and TAA certification
for Joy Mining Machinery, Franklin,
Pennsylvania had expired prior to the
relevant period, the workers cannot be
certified for TAA as secondarilyaffected.
The reconsideration investigation also
revealed that the subject company does
not have a Mexico facility which
produces articles which are like or
directly competitive with those
produced at the subject facility, that the
work at issue is temporary work which
was assigned to several subject company
facilities (including the Mt. Vernon,
Illinois facility) to help meet peak
PO 00000

demand, and that the ‘‘overflow’’ work
was for the production of articles not
normally produced at the subject
facility. The Department also confirmed
that work shifted from the subject
facility to an affiliated production
facility in Kentucky.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Joy
Technologies, Inc., dba Joy Mining
Machinery, Mt. Vernon Plant, Mt.
Vernon, Illinois.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of
