VerDate Aug<31>2005 New (adjusted) dollar amount Jkt 211001 On March 2, 2006, the Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers International Union, Local 267, (Union) filed a petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) with the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) on behalf of workers and former workers of Alcan Global Pharmaceutical Packaging, Inc., Plastics Americas Division, Centralia, Illinois (subject firm). AR 2–18. Alcan, Inc. (Alcan) is a Canadian company and the subject firm is part of Alcan’s North American pharmaceutical packaging network (‘‘Plastics Americas Division’’). The closure of the subject firm was announced on November 30, 2005. AR 72. The initial investigation revealed that the subject firm produced plastic bottles; sales and production increased in 2005 from 2004 levels; the subject firm shut down on June 30, 2006; the subject firm did not import plastic bottles in 2004, 2005, or during January through February 2006; and subject firm production shifted to other domestic Alcan facilities. AR 21, 26, 37–40, 43, 69–71. Because subject firm sales and production did not decline in 2005 from 2004 levels, the Department did not consider it to be a declining company. However, because the subject firm closed, the Department conducted a survey of the subject firm’s major declining customers. The survey PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 revealed no increased import purchases of plastic bottles during the relevant period. AR 65, 67, 68. The negative determination, issued April 11, 2006, stated that the subject firm did not shift production abroad and that neither the subject firm nor its major declining customers imported plastic bottles during the relevant period. AR 77–80. The Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2006 (71 FR 21044–5). AR 85–87. In its request for administrative reconsideration, the Union alleging that ‘‘the company is sending their mold equipment to Puerto Rico * * * has reported losses * * * likely as a result of competing manufacturers from overseas.’’ AR 88. The Department’s May 12, 2006 letter informed the Union that the request for reconsideration was being dismissed because no evidence was presented that the Department erred in its interpretation of facts or of the law. The dismissal letter also stated that because Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territory, a shift of production to Puerto Rico is not considered to be a shift of production abroad, for purposes of the Trade Act of 1974. AR 90–91. The Dismissal of Application for Reconsideration applicable to the subject firm was issued on May 15, 2006, AR 92, and published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2006 (71 FR 29981). AR 94. Subsequent to the dismissal of the request for reconsideration, SAR 46, the Department received additional information from the Union. SAR 2–45. In a letter dated May 30, 2006, the Union appealed the Department’s action to the USCIT. Plaintiff alleged that ‘‘[t]here is word that the company is sending their mold equipment to Puerto Rico * * * Also, the company has reported losses for years from the Centralia facility, likely as a result of competing manufacturers from overseas.’’ SAR 1. In order to consider the additional information and make a redetermination regarding Plaintiff’s eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance, the Department sought, and was granted, a voluntary remand.
