Central Penn Sewing Machine

Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated October 1, 2006,
petitioners 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
September 14, 2006 and published in
the Federal Register on September 26,
2006 (71 FR 56172).
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 misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The petition for the workers of the
Central Penn Sewing Machine
Company, Inc., Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania engaged in production of
industrial sewing machines was denied
because the ‘‘contributed importantly’’
group eligibility requirement of Section
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
68841
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 in 2004, 2005 or January
through August, 2006. The ‘‘contributed
importantly’’ test is generally
demonstrated through a survey of the
workers’ firm’s customers. The survey
revealed no imports of sewing machines
during the relevant period. The subject
firm did not import sewing machines
nor did it shift production to a foreign
country during the relevant period.
The petitioner states that the affected
workers lost their jobs as a direct result
of a loss of customers in the apparel
industry. The petitioner alleges that
major declining customers of the subject
firm increased imports of apparel or
were negatively impacted by imports of
apparel. As a result, they decreased
their purchases of sewing machines
from the Central Penn Sewing Machine
Company, Inc., Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania. The petitioner also states
that several of the subject firm’s
customers were certified eligible for
TAA based on an increase in imports of
various apparel products. The petitioner
concludes that because industrial
sewing machines are used to
manufacture apparel and sales and
production of industrial sewing
machines at the subject firm have been
negatively impacted by increasing
presence of foreign imports of apparel
on the market, workers of the subject
firm should be eligible for TAA.
In order to establish import impact,
the Department must consider imports
that are like or directly competitive with
those produced at the subject firm. The
Department conducted a survey of the
subject firm’s major declining customers
regarding their purchases of industrial
sewing machines. The survey revealed
that the declining customers did not
increase their imports of industrial
sewing machines during the relevant
period.
Imports of apparel cannot be
considered like or directly competitive
with industrial sewing machines
produced by Central Penn Sewing
Machine Company, Inc., Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania and imports of apparel are
not relevant in this investigation.
The fact that subject firm’s customers
are importing or were import impacted
is relevant to this investigation if
determining whether workers of the
subject firm are eligible for TAA based
on the secondary upstream supplier of
trade certified primary firm impact. For
certification on the basis of the workers’
firm being a secondary upstream
supplier, the subject firm must produce
a component part of the article that was

who received a certification of eligibility to apply for trade

(3) Either--
(A) The workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts it
supplied for the firm (or subdivision) described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or sales of the
workers' firm; or
(B) A loss or business by the workers' firm with the firm (or
subdivision) described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers' separation or threat of separation.
In order for the Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) for older workers, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act must be met.
