O’Bryan Brothers, Inc., Leon, IA;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
By application of April 27, 2007,
petitioners requested administrative
reconsideration regarding the
Department’s Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance,
applicable to the workers of the subject
firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination issued on April
13, 2007, was based on the finding that
the petitioning workers did not produce
an article within the meaning of Section
222 of the Act. The denial notice was
published in the Federal Register on
April 26, 2007 (72 FR 20873).
To support the request for
reconsideration, petitioners supplied
additional information regarding
production at the subject facility and a
shift in production to Mexico.
Upon further contact with the subject
firm’s company official, it was revealed
that the workers also produced marker
patterns in 2006 and January through
April of 2007.
During a detailed investigation on
reconsideration, it was revealed that the
subject firm shifted sewing functions
and production of marker patterns to
Mexico during the relevant period and
that this shift contributed importantly to
layoffs at the subject firm.
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.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:52 May 23, 2007
Jkt 211001
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
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 facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that there was a shift in
production from the workers’ firm or
subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of O’Bryan Brothers, Inc.,
Leon, Iowa, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April
6, 2006 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.
Signed in Washington, DC this 16th day of
May 2007.
