sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Peres Pattern Company, Erie, PA;
Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application postmarked September
26, 2007, a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination
regarding eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA),
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The denial
notice was signed on August 15, 2007
and published in the Federal Register
on August 30, 2007 (72 FR 50126).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:05 Oct 16, 2007
Jkt 214001
(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 petition for the workers of Peres
Pattern Company, Erie, Pennsylvania
engaged in production of custom molds
(i.e. wood, metal and plastic patterns,
blow molds, foam molds, rim molds,
vacuum molds and aluminum castings)
was denied because the ‘‘contributed
importantly’’ group eligibility
requirement of Section 222 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, was not met.
The ‘‘contributed importantly’’ test is
generally demonstrated through a
survey of the workers’ firm’s declining
customers. The survey revealed no
imports of custom molds by declining
customers during the relevant period.
The subject firm did not import custom
molds nor shift production to a foreign
country during the relevant period.
The petitioner states that the affected
workers lost their jobs as a direct result
of a loss of customers who used items
manufactured by the subject firm as
‘‘unfinished goods’’ and ‘‘tooling’’ for
further production of plastic goods. The
petitioner alleges that customers of the
subject firm which manufacture plastic
products decreased purchases of custom
molds from the subject firm because
they choose to shift their production
abroad. Therefore, the petitioner
concludes that because sales and
production of custom molds at the
subject firm have been negatively
impacted by the customers shifting their
production of plastic products abroad,
workers of the subject firm should be
eligible for TAA.
In order to establish import impact,
the Department must consider imports
that are like or directly competitive with
those produced at the subject firm. The
Department conducted a survey of the
subject firm’s major declining customer
regarding their purchases of custom
molds during 2005, 2006 and January
through June 2007 over the
corresponding 2006 period. The survey
revealed that the declining customers
did not import custom molds during the
relevant period.
Imports of plastic products cannot be
considered like or directly competitive
with custom molds produced by Peres
Pattern Company, Erie, Pennsylvania
and imports of plastic products are not
relevant in this investigation.
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The fact that subject firm’s customers
are shifting their production abroad is
not relevant to this investigation. The
shift in production must be
administered by the subject firm in
order for workers of the subject firm to
be considered eligible for TAA.
The petitioner further states that in
order to reveal the import impact, the
Department should investigate the time
period prior to 2005. Furthermore, the
petitioner attached a list of declining
customers from 1988 to present.
When assessing eligibility for TAA,
the Department exclusively considers
import impact during the relevant time
period (one year prior to the date of the
petition). The customers of the subject
firm were surveyed regarding their
purchases of custom molds during the
relevant time period. The survey
revealed no imports of custom molds
during the relevant time period.
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 in Washington, DC, this 11th day of
October, 2007.
