Rexnord Disc Coupling Operation;
Coupling Division Warren, PA; Notice
of Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On January 18, 2006, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
Department’s notice was published in
the Federal Register on January 30,
2006 (71 FR 4938).
The petition for the workers of
Rexnord Disc Coupling Operation,
Coupling Division, Warren,
Pennsylvania was denied because sales
and production declined from 2003
through 2004, and January through
October 2005 over the corresponding
2004 period. The initial determination
also stated that productions shifted from
the subject facility to another
production facility in Alabama.
In the request for reconsideration, the
International Association of Machinists
and Aerospace Workers, Local Lodge
#2304, alleged that the subject firm
increased imports, is shifting
production to China and importing the
finished product.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department contacted
both the union representative and a
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
company official to discuss the union’s
allegations.
According to the union
representative, the workers produced
flexible couplings and the subject
company was importing coupling
components. The imported components
were either assembled at the subject
facility into completed flexible
couplings or shipped to other domestic
plants for assembly into flexible
couplings. The subject facility closed in
December 2005 when operations were
consolidated with an affiliated coupling
production plant in Auburn, Alabama.
Subsequent conversations with the
company official confirmed that
coupling components, and not finished
flexible couplings, were imported and
that operations at the Warren,
Pennsylvania plant were consolidated
with the Auburn, Alabama facility.
In order to establish import impact,
the Department must consider imports
that are like or directly competitive with
those produced at the subject firm. In
the case at hand, the Department must
consider imports of article which are
like or directly competitive with flexible
couplings produced at the subject
company’s Warren, Pennsylvania
facility. Because coupling components
are not like or directly competitive with
finished flexible couplings, increased
imports of coupling components cannot
be the basis for Trade Adjustment
Assistance certification for the subject
worker group.
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
February 2006.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
