Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 5, 2006 / Notices
to workers of Bristol Compressors, a
subsidiary of York International, a
Johnson Controls Company, Bristol,
Virginia. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on July 17, 2006
(71 FR 40550).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production
of compressors.
New findings show that there was a
previous certification, TA–W–53,659,
issued on January 7, 2004, for workers
of Bristol Compressors, Inc., a
subsidiary of York International
Corporation, Bristol, Virginia who were
engaged in employment related to the
production of compressors. That
certification expires January 7, 2006. To
avoid an overlap in worker group
coverage, the certification is being
amended to change the impact date
from March 2, 2005 to January 8, 2006,
for workers of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TAW–58,985 is hereby issued as follows:
All workers of Bristol Compressors, a
subsidiary of York International, a Johnson
Controls Company, Bristol, Virginia, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 8, 2006,
through June 30, 2008, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974 and are also eligible

Jacquard, LLC, Burlington House
Division, Cliffside, NC; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On July 20, 2006, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application on
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on July 31, 2006 (71 FR 43214).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on June
13, 2006 based on the finding that the
subject firm did not separate or threaten
to separate a significant number or
proportion of workers as required by
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Significant number or proportion of the
workers in a firm or appropriate
subdivision thereof, means that at least
three workers with a workforce of fewer
than 50 workers or 5 percent of the
workers with a workforce of 50 or more.
The denial notice was published in the
Federal Register on July 14, 2006 (71 FR
40158).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
employment numbers and requested an
investigation relating to the fact that a
significant number or proportion of
workers at the subject firm are
threatened to become separated from
employment.
A review of the additional
information determined that the
workers of the subject firm may be
eligible for Trade Adjustment
Assistance on the basis of an
employment decline that took place
during the period relevant to the
investigation and threats of further
separations in the coming months;
furthermore, sales and production
decreased during the relevant period.
The Department conducted a survey
of subject firm’s major declining
customers, which revealed customers
increased their reliance on jacquard
fabric during the relevant period.
Additionally, the customers’ declines in
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

subject firm purchases coincided with
the subject firm’s sales decline.
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
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 investigation further revealed that
the workers of the subject firm were
certified eligible to apply for trade
adjustment assistance as adversely
affected secondary workers as suppliers
of jacquard fabric to a trade certified
customer, under petition number TA–
W–54,813, which expired on May 21,
2006.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that increases of imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
jacquard fabric produced at Jacquard,
LLC, Burlington House Division,
Cliffside, North Carolina contributed
importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline
in sales or production at that firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Jacquard, LLC, Burlington
House Division, Cliffside, North Carolina,
who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 22, 2006
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.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of
August 2006.
