Download as PDF 60760 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 199 / Monday, October 16, 2006 / Notices facility in Singapore (the production shift will be completed in early 2007). 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. Conclusion After careful review of the facts obtained in the reconsideration investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from the workers firm or subdivision to Singapore of articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or appropriate subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of Airfoil Technologies International—Ohio, A Subsidiary of Airfoil Technologies International, LLC, Mentor, Ohio who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 21, 2005 through two years from the date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974. Signed in Washington, DC, this 10th day of October 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.
