The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination signed on April 21, 2006 was based on the finding that imports of dentures, crowns and orthodontics work 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 May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27291). To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied additional information regarding the outsourcing of production of dentures, crowns and orthodontics by the subject firm and imports of like or directly competitive products with those produced at the subject firm. A further contact with the company official revealed that the subject firm ceased production of dentures, crowns and orthodontics in order to outsource it to a domestic company which manufactures dentures, crowns and orthodontics abroad. A survey of the outsourced company revealed that a high portion of the products supplied to the subject firm are manufactured abroad and those imports of dentures, crowns and orthodontics have increased significantly during the relevant time period. The investigation revealed that outsourcing of the production abroad and increased imports of dentures, crowns and orthodontics contributed importantly to the declines in production and employment at the subject firm.
