Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 82 / Friday, April 28, 2006 / Notices
2004 and 2005. The survey revealed that
customer(s) increased import purchases
while reducing purchases from the
subject firm.
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 facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that increased imports of cast
aluminum wheels, like or directly
competitive with those produced by
Hayes Lemmerz International,
Huntington, Indiana, contributed
importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline
in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
‘‘All workers of Hayes Lemmerz
International, Huntington, Indiana, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 17, 2005,
through two years from the date of
certification 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.’’

Natick Paperboard Corporation,
Paperboard Mill Division; Natick, MA;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
By application of April 1, 2006 United
Steelworkers of America, Local 516,
requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility for workers and former
workers of the subject firm to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on
February 9, 2006 was based on the
finding that imports of recycled
paperboard for the book, binding and
game industries 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 March 2, 2006 (71 FR
10716).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
customers and requested an
investigation relating to secondary
impact concerning the subject firm as an
upstream supplier to the book, binding
and game industries. A review of the
new facts determined that the workers
of the subject firm may be eligible for
TAA on the basis of a secondary
upstream supplier impact.
The Department conducted an
investigation of subject firm workers on
the basis of secondary impact, it was
revealed that Natick Paperboard
Corporation, Paperboard Mill Division,
Natick, Massachusetts supplied
paperboard that was used in the
production of board games and paper
based office supply products, and a loss
of business with domestic
manufacturers (whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance) contributed importantly to
the workers separation or threat of
separation.
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 facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that workers of Natick
Paperboard Corporation, Paperboard
Mill Division, Natick, Massachusetts
engaged in production of recycled
paperboard qualify as adversely affected
secondary workers under section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In
accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
All workers of Natick Paperboard
Corporation, Paperboard Mill Division,
Natick, Massachusetts, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after October 28, 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.

Paris Accessories, Inc.; Walnutport, PA; 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, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the results
of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance,
the group
[[Page 25244]]
eligibility requirements in either paragraph (a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of
section 222 of the Trade Act must be met. It is determined in this case
that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 21, 2006 in response to a
petition filed by a union official on behalf of workers at Paris
Accessories, Inc., Walnutport, Pennsylvania. The workers were engaged
in the production of knit dickies, knit hats, ski band and ski masks.
Employment at the subject plant has declined, and the subject firm
has shifted the production of knit dickies, knit hats, ski band and ski
masks to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a Free Trade Agreement
and the Dominican Republic, a beneficiary country under the Caribbean
Basin Economic Recovery Act with the United States.
Paris Accessories, Inc., Walnutport, Pennsylvania workers were
previously certified (TA-W-54,465) for trade adjustment assistance.
That certification expires on April 21, 2006.
In addition, 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 facts obtained in the investigation, I
conclude that there was a shift in production from the workers firm or
subdivision to Mexico and Dominican Republic of articles that are like
or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
``All workers at Paris Accessories, Inc., Walnutport,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 22, 2006 through two years from the
date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
