Thomasville Furniture Ind.; Plant #5;
Conover, NC; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
By letter dated April 4, 2006, a
petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration regarding the
Department’s Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance,
applicable to the workers of the subject
firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on March
10, 2006, was based on the finding that
sales and production at the subject
facility increased during the relevant
time period and that job losses at the
subject firm were not attributed to
increased imports or a shift of
production of upholstered furniture to a
foreign source. The denial notice was
published in the Federal Register on
April 4, 2006 (71 FR 16834).
To support the request for
reconsideration, the petitioner supplied
additional information regarding
production at the subject facility and
company imports of like or directly
competitive products with those
produced at the subject firm.
The review of the case revealed that
sales at the subject firm decreased from
2004 to 2005. Upon further contact with
the subject firm’s company official, it
was revealed that the subject firm
decreased domestic production of
upholstered furniture while increasing
its reliance on imports of upholstered
furniture during the relevant time
period.
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
E:\FR\FM\11MYN1.SGM
11MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 91 / Thursday, May 11, 2006 / Notices
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 additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Thomasville
Furniture Ind., Plant #5, Conover, North
Carolina, contributed importantly to the
declines in sales or production and to
the total or partial separation of workers
at the subject firm. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Thomasville Furniture Ind.,
Plant #5, Conover, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 1, 2005
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.

April 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is considering issuance of an
amendment to Material License No. 36–
12343–02 issued to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency,
Western Ecology Division (EPA or the
licensee). This license pertains to the
following three EPA facilities located in
Oregon: (1) Corvallis Environmental
Research Laboratory; (2) Willamette
Research Station (also in Corvallis); and
(3) the Pacific Coastal Ecology Branch
facility in Newport. Granting the
amendment request would authorize the
release of these facilities for unrestricted
use, and would terminate the license as
requested. In accordance with
conditions in its license, the EPA was
authorized to use radioactive material at
its three facilities to conduct tracer
studies involving marine organisms and
plants (excluding animal studies);
perform sample analysis; conduct tests

Frm 00073

27521
for soil moisture; and for instrument
calibration.
On November 30, 2004 (as
supplemented by letter dated December
27, 2005), EPA requested that NRC
release the three facilities for
unrestricted use and to terminate the
license. The licensee conducted
radiological surveys of the subject
facilities and concluded that the license
termination criteria specified in subpart
E to 10 CFR part 20 for unrestricted
release have been met. The amendment
will be issued if NRC determines that
the request meets the standards
specified in 10 CFR part 20 and related
NRC guidance documents.
II. Environmental Assessment (EA)
Identification of Proposed Action: The
proposed action is to enable the licensee
to use its subject facilities in any
manner without NRC restriction. The
NRC proposes to accomplish this by
terminating NRC License No. 36–12343–
02 because the licensee has permanently
ceased all licensed activities and
transferred or disposed of all licensed
radioactive materials.
The Need for the Proposed Action:
The licensee has permanently ceased all
licensed activities at its subject
facilities. The EPA desires to release
these facilities for unrestricted use. The
facilities will continue to be used for
research with non-licensed materials.
When the licensing action is complete,
the licensee will be in compliance with
the requirements of 10 CFR 30.36,
‘‘Expiration and Termination of
Licenses and Decommissioning of Sites
and Separate Buildings or Outdoor
Areas.’’
Environmental Impact of the
Proposed Action: NRC Materials License
No. 36–12343–02 authorizes the EPA to
possess small quantities of radioactive
material, in both sealed and unsealed
form. Under its license, the EPA’s use of
licensed material included the
performance of tracer studies involving
marine organisms and plants (excluding
animal studies), use in gas
chromatographs for sample analysis, use
in Troxler Model 4300 Series gauges to
measure soil moisture, and use in a
liquid scintillation counter for
instrument calibration. By letter dated
November 30, 2004, EPA requested that
NRC release the subject facilities for
unrestricted use and terminate the
license.
A final status survey report (FSSR)
was completed by the licensee, and a
copy of the report was attached to the
November 30, 2004, letter. During the
November 2005 NRC inspection, EPA
identified additional previous locations
of use that had not been documented in
