In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974,
(26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the

applicable to workers of Fibrex, LLC,
formerly known as Wellington Cordage,
LLC, Madison, Georgia. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on

At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification

of rope (i.e. cordage).

Hoover Precision Products, Inc.;
Washington, IN; Notice of Revised
Determination on Remand
On December 13, 2006, the United
States Court of International Trade
(USCIT) granted the Department of
Labor’s request for voluntary remand in
Former Employees of Hoover Precision
Products, Inc. v. United States (Court
No. 06–00381).
In the September 11, 2006 Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) petition, a company
official indicated that Hoover Precision
Products, Inc., Washington, Indiana
(subject facility) was a distribution and
warehouse center of carbon steel balls,
that the facility was scheduled to close
on September 15, 2006, and that three
workers would be separated as a result
of the closure. In support of the petition,
the company official cited NAFTA–4916
(certified on June 18, 2001; shift of
production to Mexico).
During the initial investigation, it was
revealed that the subject facility was
engaged in warehousing and
distributing articles produced at an
affiliated facility in Mexico, and that the
warehousing and distributing functions
were shifting to an affiliated facility in
Georgia.
Based on information obtained during
the initial investigation, the Department
determined that the subject workers
were ineligible to apply for TAA
because they did not produce an article
within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2)
of the Trade Act of 1974.
On September 15, 2006, the
Department issued a negative
determination regarding workers’
PO 00000
Frm 00099
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
eligibility to apply for workers
adjustment assistance for the subject
workers. The Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on September 26, 2006
(71 FR 56172).
By application dated September 29,
2006, three workers requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination. In
the request for reconsideration, the
workers stated that ‘‘Washington, IN is
a distribution facility. We distributed
components to companies who
manufactured them into their finished
products. Hoover Precision in Indiana
has lost a substantial amount of
business from at least 3 companies who
are TAA certified. This qualifies our
company in Washington, IN as
secondary workers affected by foreign
trade.’’
For purposes of the Trade Act, a
secondarily-affected company is a
company that either supplies
components parts for articles produced
by a firm with a currently TAA-certified
worker group or is an assembler or
finisher for a firm with a currently TAAcertified worker group.
In order to be certified as eligible to
apply for TAA as workers of a
secondarily-affect company, the
following eligibility requirements must
be met:
(1) The workers’ firm or appropriate
subdivision produced an article during the
one year period prior to the petition date; and
(2) A required minimum of the workforce
has been laid off in the 12 months preceding
the date of the petition or is threatened with
layoffs (3 workers in groups of fewer than 50,
or 5% of the workforce in groups of 50 or
more); and
(3) Loss of business (during the relevant
period) as a supplier of component parts, a
final assembler, or a finisher for a firm that
is currently TAA-certified contributed
importantly to an actual decline in sales or
production, and to a layoff or threat of a
layoff.
By letter dated October 3, 2006, the
Department dismissed the workers’
request for reconsideration because the
subject facility did not produce an
article, the workers were service
workers who processed imported
articles, and the workers were not
eligible for TAA as workers of a
secondarily-affected company. The
Department’s Notice of Dismissal of
Application for Reconsideration for the
subject facility was published in the
Federal Register on October 16, 2006
(71 FR 60766).
By letter dated October 9, 2006, the
workers appealed to the USCIT for
judicial review. The Plaintiffs alleged
that they were production workers and
