Cognis Corporation Cincinnati, OH;
Notice of Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On November 29, 2005, the
Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Cognis Corporation,
Cincinnati, Ohio. The Department’s
Notice was published in the Federal
Register on March 2, 2006 (71 FR
10708).
The negative determination was based
on the findings that there was no shift
of specialty chemical production abroad

Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

by the subject firm and no increased
imports of specialty chemicals during
the relevant period. Workers produce
specialty chemicals, including fatty
acids, glycerin, and ozone acids, and are
not separately identifiable by product
line.
In the request for reconsideration, the
United Steelworkers of America, Local
14340, asserted that workers produced
‘‘certain oleo chemical products and
fatty alcohol products which are sold to
other companies for use as ingredients
or additives in those companies’
products such as cosmetics, soaps, tires,
and paints.’’ The Union also asserted
that increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with those
produced by the subject firm had
contributed to the workers’ separations.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department contacted
the Union and the subject company to
ascertain what product was made by the
worker group and the reason(s) for the
worker separations. The product at issue
are APG surfactants.
According to the Union and the
company official, a major customer
reformulated its product to use a blend
of chemicals that has the same effect as
the chemical purchased from the subject
firm, alkyl polyglycoside (APG)
surfactants, and, as a result, ceased
purchasing APG surfactants from the
subject firm. APG surfactants are used
commercially in cleaning products.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department collected
sales, production, and import data from
the subject company regarding APG
surfactants and conducted a survey of
the major declining customer regarding
its purchases of APG surfactants during
2003, 2004, January through August
2004, and January through August 2005.
A careful review of the information
provided by the subject company
revealed reduced production of APG
surfactants, no increased imports of
APG surfactants, and no shift of APG
surfactants production abroad during
the relevant period.
According to the customer, there is no
one chemical which is like or directly
competitive with APG surfactants
because of its specific characteristics.
The survey result revealed that the
customer did not have any import
purchases of APG surfactants during the
relevant period.
Conclusion
After careful reconsideration, I affirm
the original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Cognis
Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio.
