Admiral Foundry, Formerly The
Admiral Machine Company,
Wadsworth, OH; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On August 9, 2006, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on August 16, 2006 (71 FR 47249).
The initial investigation revealed that,
during the relevant period, the subject
firm neither shifted production abroad
nor imported cast aluminum tire molds
from a foreign country. The
investigation also revealed that the
‘‘contributed importantly’’ group
eligibility requirement of Section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was
not met. The ‘‘contributed importantly’’
test is generally demonstrated through a
survey of customers of the subject
workers’ firm. The survey revealed that
none of the respondents increased their
imports of cast aluminum tire molds
during the relevant period.
In the request for reconsideration, the
International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace & Agricultural
Implement Workers of America, Region
2–B (the Union) stated that the subject
firm produced both molds and casts
used on the tire industry and inferred
that the scope of the initial investigation
was too limited because it only
addressed cast aluminum tire molds.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department sought
clarification from the subject firm
regarding the article(s) produced at the
Wadsworth, Ohio facility during the
relevant period. The company official
stated that the Wadsworth, Ohio facility
produced aluminum tread castings (a
component part for tire molds) and did
not produce complete tire molds.
On reconsideration, the Department
also investigated whether the subject
workers are eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) as
workers of a secondarily-affected firm
(supplied component parts for articles
produced by a firm with a currently
TAA-certified worker group).
For certification on the basis of the
workers’ firm being a secondary
upstream supplier, the subject firm must
have customers with a worker group
that is currently TAA-certified, and the
subject firm must produce a component

part of the product that was the basis for
the customers’ certification. In addition,
either the TAA-certified customer must
represent at least twenty percent of the
subject firm’s business or a loss of
business with the TAA-certified
customer contributed importantly to the
subject workers’ separation at the
subject firm.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determined that none of the subject
firm’s declining customers are currently
certified for TAA based on increased
imports of tire molds. Thus the subject
firm workers are not eligible under
secondary impact.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA), the subject worker
group must be certified eligible to apply
for TAA. Since the workers are denied
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers
cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.
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
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of
August 2006.

Adjustment Assistance.

The York Group Metal Casket
Assembly Matthews Casket Division, a
Subsidiary of Matthews International,
Marshfield, MO; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On July 12, 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 25, 2006 (71 FR 42128).
The Department initially denied
Trade Adjustment Assistance to workers
of The York Group Metal Casket
Assembly, Matthews Casket Division, a
subsidiary of Matthews International,
Marshfield, Missouri, based on criteria
(a)(2)(A)(I.A) and (a)(2)(B)(II.A) of the
group eligibility requirements of Section
222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, not being met: A significant
number or proportion of the workers in
such workers’ firm, or an appropriate
subdivision of the firm, have become
totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially
separated. The workers at the subject
firm are engaged in employment related
to the production of metal caskets.
The petitioner indicated that the
Department of Labor did not consider
the loss of wages and hours of the
worker group in the initial investigation.
The petitioner also indicated that the
Department should request the
Affirmative Action Plan for 2004, 2005,
and 2006, thus far, from the company
for the subject firm, specifying weekly
production numbers and weekly hours.
The petitioner believes this Plan will
reveal that five percent of the workforce
was affected by layoffs and decreased
hours.
The Department, upon the request of
the petitioner, acquired additional
information as it pertains to workers’
hours and wages during the relevant
period. That data was not requested
during the initial investigation. The
Department also revisited the subject
firm’s employment numbers for the
relevant period. The additional data
obtained from the company revealed
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
The petitioner’s statement regarding
loss of hours and wages does not meet
the definition of partial separations,
defined as the worker’s hours of work
have been reduced to 80 percent or less
of the worker’s average weekly hours at
the firm or appropriate subdivision
thereof, and the worker’s wages have
been reduced to 80 percent or less of the
worker’s average weekly wage at the
firm or appropriate subdivisions thereof,
as set forth by the trade regulations.
The company official provided
information showing that the average
wage rate, not considering average
overtime, has increased during the
relevant period. Additionally, as it
pertains to hours, no workers were
placed on a reduced, less than 40 hours
per week for more than two consecutive
weeks, work schedule during the
relevant period. Furthermore,
employment as the subject firm still
revealed an insignificant percentage of
separations, as defined by the criteria
(a)(2)(A)(I.A) and (a)(2)(B)(II.A), during
the scope of the initial investigation;
therefore, the group eligibility
requirement was not met. If conditions
change, the petitioners may reapply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance group
eligibility.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of The York
Group Metal Casket Assembly,
Matthews Casket Division, a subsidiary
of Matthews International, Marshfield,
Missouri.
