Direct Source Industries, San
Francisco, CA; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
By letter dated April 10, 2006, a
petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration regarding the
Department’s Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance,
applicable to the subject firm. The
determination was issued on March 3,
2006. On March 24, 2006, the Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register (71 FR 14954). The
denial was based on the Department’s
finding that the workers do not produce
an article or support a domestic
production facility.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner asserts that, prior to the
company’s closure in October 2005, the
workers were engaged in the production
of garments (women’s apparel).
During the reconsideration
investigation, a company official stated
that the subject workers were engaged in
various functions (cut, inspected,
washed, and pressed etc.) related to the
production of garments. Based on this
information, the Department determines
that the subject workers were engaged in
the production of garment producers
(women’s and girls’ tops).
The investigation also revealed that
aggregate U.S. imports of women’s and
girls tops increased significantly during
the twelve month period ended June
2005 over the corresponding twelve
month period ended June 2004 period.
The ratio of aggregate United States
imports of women’s and girls’ tops to
United States shipments was well over
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
800 percent in 2004. The ratio increased
significantly during the twelve month
period ending June 2005.
The investigation further revealed that
sales, production and employment at
the subject plant declined during the
relevant period.
In accordance with section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department 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, as amended, 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.

Eagle Picher Automotive, Jonesville,
MI; Notice of Termination of
Investigation
Pursuant to section 221 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated on April 19,
2006 in response to a petition filed by
a company official on behalf of workers
at Eagle Picher Automotive, Jonesville,
Michigan.
The petitioner has requested that the
petition be withdrawn. Consequently,
the investigation has been terminated.
After careful review of the
information obtained in the
reconsideration investigation, I
determine that increases of imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
women’s apparel produced by Direct
Source Industries, San Francisco,
California, contributed importantly to
the total or partial separation of workers
and to the decline in sales or production
and at that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
Signed at Washington, DC this 12th day of
May, 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
[FR Doc. E6–8060 Filed 5–24–06; 8:45 am]
All workers of Direct Source Industries,
San Francisco, California, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 2, 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, as amended.
