R and S Vinyl Products Group L.L.C.,
Clarion, PA; Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application of August 31, 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
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA).
The workers of R&S Vinyl Products
Group LLC, Clarion, Pennsylvania were
certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
denied to apply for ATAA on July 31,
2007. The denial notice was 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 group eligibility criteria for the
ATAA program that the Department
must consider under Section 246 of the
Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of
workers in the workers’ firm are 50
years of age or older.
2. Whether the workers in the
workers’ firm possess skills that are not
easily transferable.
3. The competitive conditions within
the workers’ industry (i.e., conditions
within the industry are adverse).
The initial ATAA investigation
determined that the skills of the subject
worker group are easily transferable to
other positions in the local area.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner requested a review of the
E:\FR\FM\27SEN1.SGM
27SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 187 / Thursday, September 27, 2007 / Notices
initial petition and to include the ATAA
benefits. The petitioner appears to be
under the impression that the workers
eligibility for ATAA was not
investigated in the original
investigation.
The Department reviewed the initial
investigation and determined that
subject workers eligibility for ATAA
was investigated. The investigation
revealed that workers’ skills are
transferable to other positions within
the commuting area. However, the
Department conducted additional
investigation on reconsideration and
contacted a company official to
determine if workers’ are eligible for
ATAA. Based on a company official’s
statements it was confirmed that there
are several existing and new
manufacturing facilities within the
commuting area, which are in the
process of hiring workers with skills
similar to those possessed by the subject
worker group. Consequently, the
investigation confirmed that workers’
skills are easily transferable to other
companies.
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.

applicable to workers of Risdon
International, Inc., Middletown, New
York and Risdon International, Inc.,
Danbury, Connecticut. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on
September 11, 2007 (72 FR 51844).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
Middletown, New York workers are
engaged in the production of cosmetic
packaging. The Danbury, Connecticut
workers store and distribute products
manufactured by Risdon.
New information shows that leased
workers of Manpower, Inc. were
employed on-site at the Middletown,
New York location of Risdon
International, Inc. The Department has
determined that the Manpower, Inc.
workers were sufficiently under the
control of Risdon International, Inc. to
be considered leased workers.
The State agency reports that
following a change in company
ownership during 2006, some workers’
wages at the subject firm were reported
under the Unemployment Insurance
(UI) tax account for Crown Risdon USA,
Inc. until November 2006.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers
of Manpower, Inc. working on-site at the
Middletown, New York location of the
subject firm and to show a change in
ownership.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Risdon International, Inc., Middletown,
New York and Risdon International,
Inc., Danbury, Connecticut who were
adversely affected by a shift in
production of cosmetic packaging to
Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to

’’All workers of Risdon International, Inc.,

3, 2006, through August 28, 2009, are eligible

also eligible to apply for alternative trade

R and S Vinyl Products Group L.L.C., Clarion, PA; Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration
By application of August 31, 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 Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA).
The workers of R&S Vinyl Products Group LLC, Clarion, Pennsylvania
were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
and denied to apply for ATAA on July 31, 2007. The denial notice was
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 group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that the
Department must consider under Section 246 of the Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the workers' firm are
50 years of age or older.
2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are
not easily transferable.
3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry (i.e.,
conditions within the industry are adverse).
The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the
local area.
In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner requested a
review of the
[[Page 54941]]
initial petition and to include the ATAA benefits. The petitioner
appears to be under the impression that the workers eligibility for
ATAA was not investigated in the original investigation.
The Department reviewed the initial investigation and determined
that subject workers eligibility for ATAA was investigated. The
investigation revealed that workers' skills are transferable to other
positions within the commuting area. However, the Department conducted
additional investigation on reconsideration and contacted a company
official to determine if workers' are eligible for ATAA. Based on a

possessed by the subject worker group. Consequently, the investigation

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.
