Department’s Notice of affirmative
determination was published in the
Federal Register on February 7, 2008
(73 FR 7317).

the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the

Flexsteel Industries, Inc., Dubuque, IA;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
By application dated January 12,
2008, the United Steel Workers, District
11, Local 1861 (the Union) requested
administrative reconsideration of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
Department’s negative determination
regarding eligibility for workers and
former workers of Flexsteel Industries,
Inc., Dubuque, Iowa (subject firm) to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA).
Workers of the subject firm were
certified eligible to apply for trade
adjustment assistance under petition
number TA–W–57,906, which expired
on October 7, 2007. The initial
investigation resulted in a negative
determination signed on December 14,
2007 was based on the finding that the
subject company did not separate or
threaten to separate a significant
number of workers. The denial notice
was published in the Federal Register
on December 31, 2007 (72 FR 74344).
To support the request for
reconsideration, the petitioner supplied
additional information regarding
employment at the subject firm.
The review of the new information
and findings of the initial investigation
revealed that the subject firm separated
a significant number of workers during
the relevant period. The workers
produce residential, commercial and
recreational seating. The investigation
also revealed that the company
increased its imports of articles like or
directly competitive with residential,
commercial and recreational seating
from 2005 to 2006 and from January
through September of 2007 when
compared with the same period in 2006.
Furthermore, sales and production
declined at the subject firm during the
relevant period.
In accordance with Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of its
investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older
workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts
obtained in the investigation, I
determine that increases of imports of
residential, commercial and recreational
seating, produced by Flexsteel

Industries, Inc., Dubuque, Iowa,
contributed importantly to the total or
partial separation of workers and to the
decline in sales or production at that
firm or subdivision. In accordance with
the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Flexsteel Industries, Inc.,
Dubuque, Iowa, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after October 8, 2007, 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.
