Chapin Watermatics Incorporated, a
Subsidiary of Jain Americas
Incorporated, Watertown, NY; Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application of August 20, 2007, a
petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility for workers and former
workers of the subject firm to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).
The denial notice was signed on July 30,
2007 and published in the Federal
Register on August 14, 2007 (72 FR
45451).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The TAA petition, which was filed on
behalf of workers at Chapin Watermatics
Inc. a subsidiary of Jain Americas Inc.,
Watertown, New York engaged in the
production of irrigation systems, such as
drip irrigation tape, was denied based
on the findings that during the relevant
time period, the subject company did
not separate or threaten to separate a
significant number or proportion of
workers, as required by Section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:06 Sep 10, 2007
Jkt 211001
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner states that there were five
workers laid off from the subject firm
during the relevant time period.
For companies with a workforce of
over fifty workers, a significant
proportion of worker separations or
threatened separation is five percent.
Significant number or proportion of the
workers in a firm or appropriate
subdivision with a workforce of fewer
than 50 workers is at least three
workers. In determining whether there
were a significant proportion of workers
separated or threatened with separations
at the subject company during the
relevant time period, the Department
requested employment figures for the
subject firm for 2005, 2006, and January
through August, 2007. A careful review
of the information provided in the
initial investigation revealed that five
workers were laid off from the
administrative office at the subject firm
during the relevant time period.
However, overall employment at the
subject firm has increased from 2005 to
2006 and from January through August,
2007 when compared with the same
period in 2006.
Furthermore, a review of the initial
investigation also revealed that the
subject company sales and production
of drip irrigation tape increased from
2005 to 2006, and also increased during
January through June of 2007 when
compared with the same period in 2006,
and that the subject company did not
shift production abroad.
As employment levels, sales and
production at the subject facility did not
decline in the relevant period, and the
subject firm did not shift production to
a foreign country, criteria (a)(2)(A)(I.A),
(a)(2)(B)(II.A), (a)(2)(A)(I.B), and
(a)(2)(B)(II.B) have not been met.
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 at Washington, DC, this 5th day of
September, 2007

Adjustment Assistance.
