Newstech NY Inc, Deferiet, NY;
Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance on April
27, 2004, applicable to workers of
Newstech NY Inc, Deferiet, New York.
The workers are engaged in employment
related to the production of upholstery
fabrics.
New information provided by the
petitioners indicates their intention was
to apply for all available Trade Act
benefits at the time of the filing.
Therefore, the Department has made a
decision to investigate further to
determine if the workers are eligible to
apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance.
The investigation revealed that a
significant number of workers of the
subject firm are age 50 or over, workers
have skills that are not easily
transferable, and conditions in the
industry are adverse.
Review of this information shows that
all eligibility criteria under Section 246
of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C.
2813), as amended have been met for
workers at the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to reflect its
finding.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–54,254 is hereby issued as
follows:
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
’’All workers of Newstech NY Inc, Deferiet,
New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after
February 11, 2003 through April 27, 2006, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974
and are also eligible to apply for Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance under Section
246 of the Trade Act of 1974.’’
Signed at Washington, DC this 12th day of
April 2006.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

OBG Distribution Company, Ltd.,
Celina, Tennessee; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By letter dated February 21, 2006, a
petitioner 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 the
subject firm. The denial notice was
signed on February 7, 2006, and
published in the Federal Register on
March 2, 2006 (71 FR 10716).
The investigation revealed that the
petitioning workers of this firm or
subdivision do not produce an article
within the meaning of section 222 of the
Act.
The Department reviewed the request
for reconsideration and has determined
that the petitioner has provided
additional information. Therefore, the
Department will conduct further
investigation to determine if the workers
meet the eligibility requirements of the
Trade Act of 1974.
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.
