Determination on Reconsideration

    On February 21, 2008, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on February 29, 2008 (73 FR 11150-11151).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of envelope making machines, printing 
presses and related parts did not contribute importantly to worker 
separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign 
source occurred.
    The company official of the subject firm and the International 
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers filed a request for 
reconsideration and indicated that not enough information was supplied 
pertaining to printing press machines manufactured at the subject firm. 
The company official provided an additional list of customers and 
requested that the Department of Labor survey these customers regarding 
their purchases of printing press machines.
    On reconsideration the Department of Labor surveyed these declining 
customers regarding purchases of like or directly competitive products 
with printing press machines purchased from the subject firm in 2005, 
2006, and during January through September 2007 over the corresponding 
2006 period. The survey revealed that the customers did not import 
printing press machines during the relevant period.
    The petitioner also provided a list of foreign competitors who 
allegedly are selling products at lower prices and thus negatively 
impacting production at the subject firm.
    The impact of foreign competitors on the domestic firms is revealed 
in an investigation through customer surveys. In the case at hand, a 
survey of declining customers was conducted to determine if customers 
purchased imported printing press machines. The survey is intended to 
determine if competitor imports contributed importantly to layoffs at 
the subject firm. The survey revealed no imports of printing press 
machines during the relevant period.
    The subject firm did not import printing press machines nor was 
there a shift in production from subject firm abroad during the 
relevant period.
