Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 109 / Thursday, June 7, 2007 / Notices
Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
Department’s negative determination
was issued on March 30, 2007. The
Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on April 10, 2007 (72 FR 17938).
Workers provided administrative
support to various affiliated facilities.
The initial investigation found that a
majority of the administrative work
done by the petitioning worker groups
is not directed toward support of
production taking place at certified
affiliated production facilities and that a
preponderance of the separations are the
result of the subject firm’s decision to
outsource positions outside of the
corporation.
The negative determination stated
that worker separations are not caused
by imports but by the subject firm’s
decision to outsource administrative
support positions, and stated that the
separations cannot be directly attributed
to imports or a shift in production of an
article.
In the request for reconsideration,
counsel alleged that the petitioning
worker groups either had a ‘‘direct link
to’’ or directly supported production at
affiliated certified production facilities.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and has determined that further
investigation is appropriate.

In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on February 23,
2007, applicable to workers of Mitchel
Manufacturing, a division of Quaker
Lace, Honea Path, South Carolina. The
notice was published in the Federal
Register on March 8, 2007 (72 FR
10561).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production
of lace curtains and tablecloths.
New information shows that a worker
separation occurred at the Showroom/
Sales Office, New York, New York
facility of the subject firm. The New
York, New York location served as the
showroom/sales office for the subject
firms’ production facility in Honea Path,
South Carolina.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending the
certification to include a worker of the
Showroom/Sales Office, New York, New
York location of Mitchel Manufacturing,
a division of Quaker Lace.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Mitchel Manufacturing, a division of
Quaker Lace, Honea Path, South
Carolina and the Showroom/Sales
Office, New York, New York who were
adversely affected by increased
company imports.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–60,962 is hereby issued as
follows:

All workers of Mitchel Manufacturing, a
