Schnadig Corporation, Montoursville,
PA; Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated September 3,
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
August 3, 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
(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 Schnadig
Corporation, Montoursville,
Pennsylvania engaged in the production
of lawn and garden products, 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.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleges that because he was a
part of the initially certified worker
group and remained employed by the
subject firm after all the production
stopped and beyond the expiration date
of the original TAA certification, he
should be also eligible for TAA.
The workers of the subject firm were
previously certified eligible for TAA
(TA–W–55,198). This certification
expired on July 15, 2006. The
investigation revealed that production at
the subject firm ceased in August of
2004.
When assessing eligibility for TAA,
the Department exclusively considers
the relevant employment data (for one
year prior to the date of the petition and
any imminent layoffs) for the facility
where the petitioning worker group was
employed. In this case, the employment
since the expiration of the previous
certification was considered. The
subject firm did not separate or threaten
to separate a significant number of
proportion of workers as required by
Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Significant number or proportion of the
workers in a firm or appropriate
subdivision means at least three workers
in a workforce of fewer than 50 workers,
five percent of the workers in a
workforce of over 50 workers, or at least
50 workers.
Moreover, in its investigation, the
Department considers production that
occurred one year prior to the date of
the petition as required in the Trade
Adjustment Assistance regulations.
Thus the period ending in 2004 is
outside of the relevant period as
established by the current petition date
of July 12, 2007. The investigation
revealed that the subject facility did not
manufacture articles since 2004 and
workers of the subject firm were not
engaged in production of an article or
supporting production of the article
during the relevant time period. The
Department further found that no new
information was provided to contradict
the original negative findings.

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 21st day of
September, 2007.

Syroco, Inc., Baldwinsville, NY,
Including an Employee Located in
Houston, TX; Amended Certification
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on July 27, 2007, applicable
to workers of Syroco, Inc.,
Baldwinsville, New York. The notice
was published in the Federal Register
on August 9, 2007 (72 FR 44865).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that a worker
separation has occurred involving an
employee of the Baldwinsville, New
York facility of Syroco, Inc. located in
Houston, Texas. Mr. John Minnelli
provided sales support services for the
production of plastic patio furniture that
is produced at the Baldwinsville, New
York location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include an employee of
the Baldwinsville, New York facility of
Syroco, Inc., located in Houston, Texas.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Syroco, Inc., Baldwinsville, New York
who were adversely affected by
increased customer imports.
