Including OnSite Workers of Staffright, Bartech, and Alliance Staffing, Salem, OH; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration On May 14, 2007, the Department of Labor (Department) issued a Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance for the workers and former workers of Sekely Industries, Inc., Salem, Ohio (subject firm). The Department’s Notice of Negative Determination was published in the Federal Register on June 6, 2007 (72 FR 31346). Workers produced automotive dies until the subject firm ceased operation in January 2007. The subject firm used temporary workers supplied by Staffright, Bartech, and Alliance Staffing agencies. The investigation revealed that section 222(a)(2)(A)(I)(C) and section (a)(2)(B)(II)(B) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, were not met. The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not increase its imports of dies or successfully shift its production of automotive dies abroad during the relevant period. The investigation also revealed no increased imports by the subject firm’s major declining customers of like or directly competitive dies accompanied by decreased subject firm purchases. By application dated June 11, 2007, a worker requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination. The request alleged that the subject firm shifted production to an affiliated facility in China. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department confirmed that the subject firm did not shift production abroad. The Department also received new information that revealed VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:51 Sep 04, 2007 Jkt 211001 that, during the relevant period, a major declining customer of the subject firm replaced subject firm purchases with imported dies that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm. In accordance with section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA. The Department has determined in this case that the group eligibility 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 new information obtained in the reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers and former workers of Sekely Industries, Inc., Salem, Ohio are negatively impacted by increased imports of automotive dies like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of Sekely Industries, Inc., including on-site temporary workers of Staffright, Bartech, and Alliance Staffing, Salem, Ohio who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 9, 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.

The notice was published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2007 (72 FR 45450). The petition for the workers of South Indiana Lumber Company, Inc., Liberty, Kentucky engaged in production of furniture blanks, stair balusters, and handle blanks was denied because the ‘‘contributed importantly’’ group eligibility requirement of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met. The subject firm did not import furniture blanks, stair balusters, and handle blanks nor did it shift production to a foreign country during the relevant period. The ‘‘contributed importantly’’ test is generally demonstrated through a survey of the workers’ firm’s customers. The survey revealed no imports of furniture blanks, stair balusters, and handle blanks during the relevant period. The petitioners filed a request for reconsideration and requested that workers of South Indiana Lumber Company, Inc., Liberty, Kentucky be considered eligible for TAA as a secondary affected company. The petitioner provided the names of two TAA certified companies to which the subject firm allegedly supplied products during the relevant time period. A company official was contacted to verify whether the subject firm supplied furniture blanks, stair balusters, and handle blanks to the companies provided by the petitioner. The company official stated that South Indiana Lumber Company, Inc., Liberty, Kentucky did not sell to these TAA certified facilities and that these specific facilities were not customers of the E:\FR\FM\05SEN1.SGM 05SEN1
