Michelin North America Inc., BF
Goodrich Tire Manufacturing, Opelika,
AL; Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration
By application dated November 1,
2006, a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department of Labor’s Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to
workers and former workers of the
subject firm. The Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration was issued on
November 15, 2006 and published in
the Federal Register on November 24,
2006 (71 FR 67917).
The initial determination was based
on the Department’s finding that the
subject firm did not separate or threaten
to separate a significant number or
proportion of workers as required by the
Trade Act of 1974. The subject workers
produce passenger and light truck tires
and are not separately identifiable by
product line.
Based on new information provided
by the subject firm during the
reconsideration investigation, the
Department determined that, during the
relevant period, a significant number or
proportion of the workers at the subject
firm was separated.
The Department further determines
that the subject firm’s sales and
production of tires declined absolutely
during the relevant period.
The subject firm’s reliance on
imported tires increased during the
same period that the subject firm’s tire
production decreased.
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:43 Dec 26, 2006
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.
Jkt 211001
After careful review of the
information obtained in the
reconsideration investigation, I
determine that workers of Michelin
North America Inc., BF Goodrich Tire
Manufacturing, Opelika, Alabama
qualify as adversely affected primary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
’’All workers of Michelin North America
Inc., BF Goodrich Tire Manufacturing,
Opelika, Alabama, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after September 20, 2005 through two years
from the date of this certification, are eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are
eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.’’

December, 2006.

Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on June 1, 2006, applicable
to workers of Optical Electro Forming,
a division of Oracle Lenses, Clearwater,
Florida. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on June 22, 2006 (71
FR 35949).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in the production
of optical molds and inserts.
New information shows that Optical
Electro Forming is a division of Oracle
Lens Manufacturing, a division of SOLA
International, in turn a division of Carl
Zeiss Vision. Workers separated from
employment at the subject firm had
their wages reported under four separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax
accounts: Optical Electro Forming,
Oracle Lens Manufacturing, SOLA
International, and Carl Zeiss Vision.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to properly
reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Optical Electro Forming and its parent
companies, Clearwater, Florida, who
were adversely affected by a shift in
production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–59,329 is hereby issued as
follows:
’’All workers of Optical Electro Forming, a
division of Oracle Lens Manufacturing,
SOLA International and Carl Zeiss Vision,
Clearwater, Florida, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after May 2, 2005, through June 1, 2008, 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 at Washington, DC this 19th day of
December 2006.
