Modine Manufacturing, Blythewood,
SC; Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration
On November 16, 2006, the
Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Modine
Manufacturing, Blythewood, South
Carolina (the subject firm). The
Department’s Notice of affirmative
determination was published in the
Federal Register on November 24, 2006
(71 FR 67918).
The worker-filed petition, dated
September 19, 2006, stated that the
subject firm produces automotive
transmission oil coolers, that the subject
firm will close in April 2007, and that
subject firm production is shifting
abroad (to Mexico).

to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) was
based on the Department’s findings that
there was no decline in sales or
production in January through August
2006 compared to the same period in
2005, the subject firm did not import,
and the subject firm did not shift
production abroad during the relevant
period. The determination was issued
on October 12, 2006 and the Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on October 25, 2006
(71 FR 62490).
Based on the July 20, 2006 WARN
notice provided during the
reconsideration (‘‘It is anticipated that
the plant closing will commence on
September 15, 2006 and will continue
into 2007’’), the Department determines
that, during the relevant period, there
were significant sales, production, and
employment declines at the subject
firm.
On reconsideration, the Department
received information that revealed no
increased import purchases of
automotive transmission oil coolers or
articles like or directly competitive with
automotive transmission oil coolers by
either the subject firm or the subject
firm’s major declining customers. As
such, the Department determines that
increased imports did not contribute
importantly to the subject workers’
separations.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department also
confirmed with company officials that
production shifted from the subject firm
to an affiliated facility in Illinois.
When it became apparent during the
reconsideration investigation that the
subject workers are not eligible to apply
for TAA as primary workers, the
Department conducted an investigation
to determine whether the workers are
eligible as secondary workers (workers
of a company that supplied component
parts to a customer that employed a
group of workers certified for TAA).
As the reconsideration investigation
progressed, the Department was able to
identify a subject firm customer that
employed a group of workers who
received a TAA certification and
determined that the component parts
supplied by the subject firm are related
to the article that was the basis for the
certification. Further, the new
information revealed that the TAAcertified customer constituted over 20%
of subject firm sales prior to the plant
closure in September 2006.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department herein
presents the results of its investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to
apply for ATAA. The Department has
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

determined in this case that the group
eligibility 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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
information obtained in the
reconsideration investigation, I
determine that workers of Modine
Manufacturing, Blythewood, South
Carolina qualify as adversely affected
secondary 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 Modine Manufacturing,
Blythewood, South Carolina, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 19, 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.’’

April 2007.

Modine Manufacturing, Blythewood, SC; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
On November 16, 2006, the Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers
and former workers of Modine Manufacturing, Blythewood, South Carolina
(the subject firm). The Department's Notice of affirmative
determination was published in the Federal Register on November 24,
2006 (71 FR 67918).
The worker-filed petition, dated September 19, 2006, stated that
the subject firm produces automotive transmission oil coolers, that the
subject firm will close in April 2007, and that subject firm production
is shifting abroad (to Mexico).
The denial of the workers' eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA) was based on the Department's findings that there was no decline
in sales or production in January through August 2006 compared to the
same period in 2005, the subject firm did not import, and the subject
firm did not shift production abroad during the relevant period. The
determination was issued on October 12, 2006 and the Notice of
determination was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2006
(71 FR 62490).
Based on the July 20, 2006 WARN notice provided during the
reconsideration (``It is anticipated that the plant closing will
commence on September 15, 2006 and will continue into 2007''), the
Department determines that, during the relevant period, there were
significant sales, production, and employment declines at the subject

On reconsideration, the Department received information that

The Department has determined in this case that the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
