The workers produce window curtains. The investigation revealed that sales and employment at the subject firm decreased during the period under investigation. The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firms’ major declining customers regarding their purchases of window curtains in 2004, 2005 and January through July 2006 over the corresponding 2005 period. The survey revealed a major customer increased their reliance on imported window curtains during the period under investigation. 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 addition, 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.
