Sekely Industries, Inc. 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

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.
Signed at Washington, DC this 28th day of
August 2007.

South Indiana Lumber Company, Inc.,
Liberty, KY; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On August 3, 2007, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. 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
