The notice was published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2007 (72 FR 20139). The previous investigation initiated on December 7, 2006, resulted in a negative determination issued on March 8, 2007, was based on the finding that imports of upholstered furniture did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register on March 22, 2007 (72 FR 13528). In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided additional information regarding the subject firm’s customers. Upon further review of the initial investigation, the Department requested from a company official an additional list of declining customers of the subject firm. A survey of these customers revealed that a major declining customer increased its imports of upholstered furniture during the relevant period. The imports accounted for a meaningful portion of the subject plant’s lost sales and production. 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 adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
