Baker Furniture, Grand Rapids,

Reconsideration
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(C) an
application for administrative
reconsideration was filed with the
Director of the Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance for workers at
Baker Furniture, Grand Rapids,
Michigan. The application did not
contain new information supporting a
conclusion that the determination was
erroneous, and also did not provide a
justification for reconsideration of the
determination that was based on either
mistaken facts or a misinterpretation of
facts or of the law. Therefore, dismissal
of the application was issued.

Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated June 22, 2007,
the United Automobile, Aerospace &
Agricultural Implement Workers of
America requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
determination was signed on May 7,
2007 and published in the Federal
Register on May 24, 2007 (72 FR 29182).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of vehicles like or
directly competitive with the Lincoln
Towncar did not contribute importantly
to worker separations at the subject firm
and no shift of production to a foreign
source occurred.

The Department reviewed the request
for reconsideration and has determined
that the petitioner has provided
additional information. Therefore, the
Department will conduct further
investigation to determine if the workers
meet the eligibility requirements of the
Trade Act of 1974.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. The application
is, therefore, granted.

Employment and Training
Administration: Form Tech Industries,
Llc, Canal Fulton, OH; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On June 27, 2007, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application on
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice will soon be published in the
Federal Register.
The previous investigation initiated
on April 11, 2007, resulted in a negative
determination issued on May 9, 2007,
was based on the finding that imports of
machine parts, such as shafts and
sheaves for CVT transmissions 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
May 24, 2007 (72 FR 29182).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
declining customers.
The Department requested additional
list of customers from the subject firm
and conducted a survey of a major
declining customer regarding its
purchases of like or directly competitive
products with machine parts, such as
shafts and sheaves for CVT
transmission. It was revealed that the
major declining customer increased its
reliance on imports of machine parts,
such as shafts and sheaves for CVT

transmission while decreasing their
purchases from the subject firm during
the relevant period. The increases in
imports accounted for a meaningful
portion of the subject plant’s lost sales.
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 additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
those produced at Form Tech Industries,
LLC, Canal Fulton, Ohio, contributed
importantly to the declines in sales or
production and to the total or partial
separation of workers at the subject
firm. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following
certification:
’’All workers of Form Tech Industries, LLC,
Canal Fulton, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after April 3, 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 11th day of
July 2007.

Adjustment Assistance.
