Ash Grove Cement Company Rivergate
Lime Plant; Portland, OR; Notice of
Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On August 7, 2006, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Ash Grove Cement
Company, Rivergate Lime Plant,
Portland, Oregon (subject firm). The
Department’s Notice of Affirmative
Determination was published in the
Federal Register on September 26, 2006
(71 FR 56169). Although the petition
states that the subject firm produces
calcium oxide, the investigation
revealed that ground limestone, ground
dolomite, and calcium hydroxide are
produced as well as calcium oxide. The
subject workers are not separately
identifiable by product line. The
petitioner (the subject firm) requested
that the Department consider TA–W–
59,463 as both a primary and secondary
petition.
The petition for the workers of the
subject firm was denied because there
was no shift of production and 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
increased imports by either the subject
firm or its customers of those articles
produced by the subject worker group.
The investigation revealed that
although calcium oxide production had
ceased, there was no shift of production
from the subject facility to a country
that is party to a free trade agreement
with the United States, or a country that
is named as a beneficiary under the
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
60763
Andean Trade Preference Act, the
African Growth and Opportunity Act or
the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery
Act. The investigation also revealed that
neither the subject firm nor its
customers increased imports of calcium
oxide during the relevant period.
Because the determination did not
state whether the subject worker group
is eligible for TAA as workers of a
secondarily-affected firm, the
Department issued the Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration.
In the initial petition, the company
official asserts that the subject firm
supplied calcium oxide to Oregon Steel
Mills (TAA certified on May 9, 2003;
TA–W–50,706). In the request for
reconsideration, the company official
stated that ‘‘calcium oxide produced at
the plant is sold for a variety of end uses
but is primarily used in the iron and
steel making industry.’’ The company
official also asserts that the closure of
Oregon Steel Mills, Portland, Oregon in
May 2003 (one of two major customers)
and the subject firm’s inability to secure
another high-volume customer led to
the closure of the calcium oxide line
and the workers’ separations.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the company official
confirmed that calcium oxide
production ceased at the subject facility
on May 31, 2006. Calcium oxide
constituted a meaningful portion of
production at the subject facility.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the company official
provided new information that
indicated that there are several major
declining calcium oxide customers
during the relevant period. In response
to this new information, the Department
carefully reviewed previously-submitted
information and conducted a new
survey to determine whether these
customers had increased import
purchases of calcium oxide while
declining their purchases from the
subject firm during the relevant period.
The reconsideration investigation
revealed no increased imports of
calcium oxide by these customers.
For certification on the basis of the
workers’ firm being a secondary
upstream supplier, the subject firm must
have customers that are TAA certified
during the relevant period and the TAA
certified customers must represent a
significant portion of subject firm’s
business during the relevant period. In
addition, the subject firm would have to
produce a component part of the
product that was the basis for the
customers’ certification.
