The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2007 (72 FR 54939). At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of table linens, aprons and chef wear. New information shows that the subject firm originally named Best Manufacturing, Cordele Division, was renamed Best Textiles International, Ltd due to a change in ownership. Workers separated from employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Best Manufacturing. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to properly reflect this matter. The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all workers of Best Textiles International, Ltd who were adversely affected by increased company imports. Of note, the decision dated September 10, 2007 referenced that the workers were under an existing certification that expired on July 8, 2005. However, the actual TAA expiration date should have been represented as July 8, 2007.

The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of Dana Corporation, TorqueTraction Manufacturing, Inc. to be considered leased workers. The same worker group of Dana Corporation was under a previous certification that remained in effect until July 29, 2007; therefore the current impact date will read July 30, 2007.

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. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.
