Track Corporation Including On-Site
Leased Workers of Forge Industrial
Spring Lake, Michigan; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On June 18, 2007, the Department of
Labor (Department) issued a Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance applicable to the
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) petition filed by a
company official on behalf of workers
and former workers of Track
Corporation, Spring Lake, Michigan
(subject firm). The Department’s Notice
of negative determination was
published in the Federal Register on
July 9, 2007 (72 FR 37266). The subject
firm produces seat adjusters for the
automotive industry and public seating
for stadiums and theaters. Workers are
separately identifiable by product line.
The TAA/ATAA petition was filed on
behalf of workers engaged in the
production of seat adjusters.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject firm did not shift production of
seat adjusters abroad and does not
import seat adjusters. A survey revealed
that the subject firm’s major customer

Jkt 214001
did not import seat adjusters during the
relevant period.
By letter dated July 16, 2007, a
company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination.
The request for reconsideration stated
that the subject firm’s major customer
replaced subject firm purchases with
imported seat adjusters.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department carefully
reviewed the administrative file,
contacted the company official for
clarification, and contacted the subject
firm’s major customer for more
information about its import purchases.
Previously-submitted information
revealed that subject firm sales,
production, and employment levels
declined during the relevant period.
Information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation revealed
that the subject firm’s major customer
began using foreign-made seat adjusters
in 2006 and replacing subject firm
purchases with foreign-made seat
adjusters during 2007.
In accordance with section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department herein
presents the results of its investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to
apply for ATAA. The Department has
determined in this case that the group
eligibility requirements of section 246
have been met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over. Workers possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
information obtained in the initial and
reconsideration investigations, I
determine that the subject workers are
adversely-impacted by increased
imports of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced at the
subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Track Corporation,
including on-site workers of Forge Industrial,
Spring Lake, Michigan, engaged in the
production of seat adjusters, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 16, 2006
through two years from the date of this
certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.

Convening Report Regarding

ACTION: Notice of draft convening report
and request for comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Institute for
Environmental Conflict Resolution
invites comments on its draft convening
report regarding Department of the
Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA)-funded school facilities
construction as identified in the No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB
Act). The draft report was prepared at
the request of the DOI, BIA, and Bureau
of Indian Education (BIE). Such a
convening report is described generally
in the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of
1996, Pub. L. 104–320, section 563(b).
As a neutral, independent federal
program, the U.S. Institute and its
impartial contractor team, Consensus
Building Institute (CBI) conducted twohundred (200) interviews of people with
an interest in BIA-funded school
facilities construction. The purpose of
the interviews was to explore the
opportunities for, and barriers to, using
negotiated rulemaking to develop
regulations implementing the
requirements of the NCLB Act related to
BIA-funded school facilities. The draft
report covers school facility topics
identified from the NCLB Act:
• Methods to catalog school facilities;
• Determining formulas for priority
and funding for school replacement
construction and new construction
• Determining formulas for priority
and funding for school renovation and
repair;
• Facilities standards for home living
(dormitory) situations.
In the draft report, CBI identified
several key themes from its interviews:
• There is a strong willingness to go
forward with a negotiated rulemaking,
as it is required by statute.

On June 18, 2007, the Department of Labor (Department) issued a
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
applicable to the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) petition filed by a company official
on behalf of workers and former workers of Track Corporation, Spring
Lake, Michigan (subject firm). The Department's Notice of negative
determination was published in the Federal Register on July 9, 2007 (72
FR 37266). The subject firm produces seat adjusters for the automotive
industry and public seating for stadiums and theaters. Workers are

filed on behalf of workers engaged in the production of seat adjusters.
The negative determination was based on the Department's findings
that the subject firm did not shift production of seat adjusters abroad
and does not import seat adjusters. A survey revealed that the subject
firm's major customer did not import seat adjusters during the relevant
period.
By letter dated July 16, 2007, a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative
determination. The request for reconsideration stated that the subject
firm's major customer replaced subject firm purchases with imported
seat adjusters.
During the reconsideration investigation, the Department carefully

certification:
All workers of Track Corporation, including on-site workers of
Forge Industrial, Spring Lake, Michigan, engaged in the production
of seat adjusters, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 16, 2006 through two years from the date
