jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 78 / Tuesday April 24, 2007 / Notices
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The TAA petition, filed on behalf of
workers at Camaco, LLC, Marianna
Division, Marianna, Arkansas engaged
in production of automotive parts, such
as metal seat frames, brackets and
reinforcement was denied because the
‘‘contributed importantly’’ group
eligibility requirement of Section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974 was not met. The
‘‘contributed importantly’’ test is
generally demonstrated through a
survey of the workers’ firm’s customers.
The survey revealed no imports of
automotive parts, such as metal seat
frames, brackets and reinforcement in
2005, 2006 and January of 2007 when
compared with January of 2006. The
subject firm did not import automotive
parts, such as metal seat frames,
brackets and reinforcement in the
relevant period nor did it shift
production to a foreign country.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that the subject firm
made parts for a company which shifted
production to Mexico. As a result of this
shift, the subject firm experienced
declines in sales. Therefore, workers of
the subject firm should be eligible for
TAA and ATAA.
A company official was contacted to
verify the business relationship between
the subject firm and the alleged
company. The company official stated
that the company mentioned in the
request for reconsideration was not the
subject firm’s customer and that the
subject firm did not sell parts directly to
this firm during the relevant time
period. Because the alleged company
was not the subject firm’s customer
during the relevant time period, any
information regarding business
activities of this company is not relevant
to this investigation.
The request for reconsideration also
states that ‘‘some of the equipment that
was utilized here at CAMACO-Marianna
is being sent to India to be used at a
manufacturing facility there for
production of automotive parts.’’
Further contact with the company
official confirmed that CAMACO, LLC,
Marianna Division, Marianna, Arkansas
is planning to shift a portion of its
manufacturing equipment from
Marianna, Arkansas to India. The
company official further indicated that
no production has been moved from the
Marianna facility to India as of April 12,
2007, and no time line was established
to when this may occur.
Should the shift to India occur, the
petitioner is encouraged to file a new
petition on behalf of workers at the
CAMACO, LLC, Marianna Division,
Marianna, Arkansas, thereby creating a
VerDate Aug<31>2005

relevant period of investigation that
would include changing conditions.
The petitioner further refers to the
TAA certifications issued to various
businesses and industries located in
Marianna, Arkansas. The petitioner
alleges that because the subject firm has
been the largest employer in Marianna,
Arkansas and hence other companies in
the area were certified eligible for TAA,
workers of the subject firm should also
be eligible.
A review of other businesses is not
relevant to an investigation concerning
import impact on workers applying for
trade adjustment assistance. As noted
above, ‘‘contributed importantly’’ test is
generally demonstrated through a
survey of customers of the workers’ firm
to examine the direct impact on a
specific firm. No increased imports were
evidenced during the survey of subject
firm’s customers and the subject firm
did not shift production to a foreign
country.
Conclusion
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 13th day of
April, 2007.

Adjustment Assistance.
