Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 128 / Thursday, July 5, 2007 / Notices
Department’s Negative Determination
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance,
applicable to the workers of the subject
firm.
Workers of the subject firm were
certified eligible to apply for trade
adjustment assistance under petition
number TA–W–56,570, which expired
on April 28, 2007. The initial
investigation resulted in a negative
determination signed on May 2, 2007
was based on the finding that the
subject company did not separate or
threaten to separate a significant
number of workers since the expiration
of the previous certification. The denial
notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 17, 2007 (72 FR 27855).
To support the request for
reconsideration, the petitioner supplied
additional information regarding
employment at the subject.
Upon further contact with the subject
firm’s company official, it was revealed
that the subject firm separated a
significant number of workers during
June 2007 and there is a threat of future
separations. The investigation also
revealed that the subject firm is in the
process of shifting production of
molding equipment for glass containers
to Colombia, a beneficiary country
under the Andean Trade Preference Act
during the relevant period. The shift
contributed importantly to the 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
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 Colombia 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 Penn Mould Industries,
Inc., Washington, Pennsylvania who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 29, 2007
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 22nd day
of June 2007.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

PA; Amended Certification Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and a
Negative Determination Regarding
Eligibility to Apply for Alternative

was published in the Federal Register
on June 22, 2007 (72 FR 34482).
At the request of a company official,

the workers at the subject firm are not

commuting area.
Information also obtained from the
company states that a significant
number of workers of the subject firm
are age 50 or over, workers have skills
that are not easily transferable, and
conditions in the industry are adverse.
Review of this information shows that

Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to reflect its
finding.
