Download as PDF 43216 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 146 / Monday, July 31, 2006 / Notices not a major customer of the subject firm. Therefore, the Department determines P.H. Gladfether accounted for less than twenty percent of overall subject firm sales or production and the loss of business with this customer did not contribute importantly to the workers’ separations. In order to determine whether the workers are eligible to apply for TAA as secondarily-affected workers of a company that supplied flexible plastic packaging to a firm with a currently TAA-certified worker group, the Department requested the subject firm’s 2005 sales figures for Farley’s and Sather Candy, Archibald Candy, American Safety Razor, and Bob’s Candy. The reconsideration investigation revealed that, during the relevant period, the subject firm conducted no business with three of the customers identified by the Union and conducted an insignificant amount of business with the fourth customer. As such, the Department determines that each customer accounted for less that twenty percent of overall subject firm sales or production and that the loss of business with each customer did not contribute importantly to the workers’ separations. The Union also alleged in the request for reconsideration that flexible plastic packaging production had shifted abroad. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department confirmed that flexible plastic packaging production did not shift abroad but shifted to affiliated production facilities in Lancaster, Wisconsin and Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Conclusion After review of the application and investigative findings, I conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law or of the facts which would justify revision of the Department of Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied. Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of July 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

The petitioner contends that the Department erred in its interpretation of work performed at the subject facility as providing a service and further conveys that workers of the subject firm ‘‘created a new filmware load for the Calls Modem Resource (aka CMR)’’ and that ‘‘it is a new product which is only sent to paying customers.’’ A company official was contacted for clarification in regard to the nature of the work performed at the subject facility. The official stated that workers of the subject firm were not directly involved in the work that went into the aforementioned load. Furthermore, the changes that were made in the firmware load were a direct result of a reported problem in the field and were not made to provide a feature to the field. The official further clarified that the firmware was not sold but given to the field and that the production of the modified firmware was not moved to a foreign facility but started and remained offshore, once the changes to it were implemented. The official stated that the loads are being built in a foreign country and the workers of the subject firm support this offshore production. The sophistication of the work involved is not an issue in ascertaining E:\FR\FM\31JYN1.SGM 31JYN1
