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 16:42 May 24, 2006 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.

The petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.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.

The determination was issued on May 2, 2006. The Department’s Notice of determination will soon be published in the Federal Register. Workers produce specialty wood adhesives and ancillary products. The negative determination was based on the Department’s findings that the subject firm did not increase imports of wood adhesives and ancillary products or shift production of wood adhesives and ancillary products abroad, and that the subject firm’s major declining customers did not increase imports of specialty wood adhesives and ancillary products during the relevant period. The worker alleges that the subject firm supplied wood adhesive to customers affected by increased imports of wood furniture. Following the issuance of the negative determination, the Department received information which indicates that it is possible that information provided to the Department regarding subject firm sales and production may be inaccurate and/or incomplete.

Dental Lab, Norcross, GA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration By letter dated May 3, 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 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.
