customers. The survey revealed no
imports of corrugated packaging by
declining customers during the relevant
period. The subject firm did not import
corrugated packaging nor shift
production to a foreign country during
the relevant period.
The petitioner states that the affected
workers lost their jobs as a direct result
of a loss of customers in the textile and
furniture industry. The petitioner
alleges that customers of the subject
firm which manufacture textile products
and furniture decreased purchases of
corrugated packaging from the subject
firm because their business was in its
turn negatively impacted by increased
imports of textiles and furniture. As a
result, several of the customers were
certified eligible for TAA. Therefore, the
petitioner concludes that because sales
and production of corrugated packaging
at the subject firm have been negatively
impacted by the closure of other
businesses in the area and by increasing
presence of foreign imports of textile
products and furniture on the market,
workers of the subject firm should be
eligible for TAA.
In order to establish import impact,
the Department must consider imports
that are like or directly competitive with
those produced at the subject firm. The
Department conducted a survey of the
subject firm’s major declining customer
regarding their purchases of corrugated
packaging. The survey revealed that the
declining customers did not increase
their imports of corrugated packaging
during the relevant period.
Imports of textiles and furniture
cannot be considered like or directly
competitive with corrugated packaging
produced by Georgia Pacific Corrugated
Number 1, LLC, Ridgeway, Virginia and
imports of textiles and furniture are not
relevant in this investigation.
The fact that subject firm’s customers
were certified for TAA is relevant to this
investigation if determining whether
workers of the subject firm are eligible
for TAA based on the secondary
upstream supplier of trade certified
primary firm impact. For certification
on the basis of the workers’ firm being
a secondary upstream supplier, the
subject firm must produce a component
part of the article that was the basis for
the customers’ certification.
In this case, however, the subject firm
does not act as an upstream supplier,
because corrugated packaging does not
form a component part of textile
products and furniture. Thus the subject
firm workers are not eligible under
secondary impact.

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 in Washington, DC, this 20th day of
June, 2007.
