Volex, Inc., Power Cord Products
Division, Clinton, AR; Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application of September 14, 2006,
a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination
regarding eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA),
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The denial
notice was signed on August 22, 2006,
and published in the Federal Register
on October 2, 2006 (71 FR 58012).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) if it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) if in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The petition for the workers of Volex,
Inc., Power Cord Products Division,
Clinton, Arkansas engaged in
production of insulated flexible wire
and cable for power cords was denied
because the ‘‘contributed importantly’’
group eligibility requirement of Section
222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, was not met, nor was there a
shift in production from that firm to a
foreign country. The ‘‘contributed
importantly’’ test is generally
demonstrated through a survey of the
workers’ firm’s declining domestic
customers. The survey was not
conducted, because the investigation
revealed that the subject firm produced
insulated flexible wire and cable
primarily for the export market and no
domestic customers were available. The
subject firm did not import insulated
flexible wire and cable in the relevant
period, nor did it shift production to a
foreign country.
The petitioner provided additional
information in the request for
reconsideration and supplied a name of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:27 Nov 15, 2006
Jkt 211001
a domestic customer which is allegedly
purchasing imported products.
The Department conducted a survey
of this customer regarding purchases of
insulated flexible wire and cable in
2004, 2005 and January through August
of 2006. The survey revealed no
purchases of imports of insulated
flexible wire and cable during the
relevant time period.
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 2nd of
November, 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

Background:
This information collection is
necessary for the U.S. Department of
Labor (DOL)/ Employment and Training
Administration (ETA)’s award of
National Emergency Grants (NEGs).
These discretionary grants are intended
to temporarily expand the service
capacity at the state and local area levels
by providing funding assistance in
response to significant dislocation
events for workforce development and
employment services and other
adjustment assistance for dislocated
workers and other eligible individuals.
Eligibility is defined in sections 101,
134 and 173 of the Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) (Pub. L. 105–220):
sections 113, 114 and 203 of the Trade
Adjustment Assistance Reform Act of
2002 (Pub. L. 107–210): and 20 CFR
671.140.
Funds are available for obligation by
the Secretary under Sections 132 and
173 of the WIA, and Section 203 of the
Trade Act of 2002. Applications will be
accepted on an ongoing basis as the
need for funds arises at the state and
local level.
WIA and the Regulations define four
NEG project types:
• REGULAR, which encompasses
plant closures, mass layoffs, and
multiple layoffs in a single community.
• DISASTER, which includes all
eligible FEMA-declared natural and
manmade disaster events.
• TRADE-WIA DUAL
ENROLLMENT, which provides
supplemental funding to ensure that a
full range of services is available to
trade-impacted individuals eligible
under the Trade Adjustment Assistance
program provisions of the Trade Act of
2002.
• TRADE HEALTH INSURANCE
COVERAGE ASSISTANCE, which
provides specialized health coverage,
support services, and income assistance
