Dynamerica Manufacturing, LLC,
Muncie, IN; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On April 1, 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 April 11, 2008 (73 FR
19896).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that criteria I.B. and II.B. have
not been met. There were no plant sales
or production declines nor was there as
shift in production from the subject firm
abroad.
In the request for reconsideration the
petitioner stated that he did not have
exact knowledge of the subject firm’s
sales or production, but alleged that
‘‘DynAmerica was and still is struggling
financially’’ and provided a history of
the declining employment at the subject
firm.
On reconsideration, the Department
contacted a company official to address
these allegations. The official confirmed
the accuracy of the statements released
by the subject firm in the initial
investigation regarding sales and
production at Dynamerica
Manufacturing LLC, Muncie, Indiana.
Furthermore, the company official
provided additional financial
documentation supporting the facts that
sales and production at the subject firm
increased from 2006 to 2007.
The petitioner further stated that the
subject firm acquired a facility in
Mexico and alleged that production has
been shifted from Muncie facility to
Mexico. In particular, the petitioner
alleged, that the subject firm ‘‘shipped
presses and multislides to Mexico and
the dies to make parts that they were
running at DynAmerica.’’
The company official stated that
Dynamerica Manufacturing LLC
manufactures metal stampings in the
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
plant in Mexico. The official
emphasized that metal stampings
manufactured in Mexico are not like or
directly competitive with automotive
safety components manufactured at
Muncie plant.
Furthermore, the company official
stated that there was no shift in
production of automotive safety
components from Dynamerica
Manufacturing LLC, Muncie, Indiana to
Mexico in 2006 and 2007. The
machinery mentioned by the petitioner
in the request for reconsideration were
purchased by Dynamerica specifically
for its Mexican facility. The
documentation shows that this
machinery was shipped to Muncie plant
for maintenance, safety and fit of tooling
prior to being shipped to Mexico. ‘‘Once
the tool was debugged in the press, the
tool and press was shipped Mexico.’’
The official stated that the reason for the
workers separations is related to a
domestic shift in plant production.
The investigation on reconsideration
revealed that sales and production and
the subject firm increased from 2006 to
2007 and that there was no shift in
production abroad of articles like or
directly competitive with the products
manufactured by workers of the subject
firm.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of
Dynamerica Manufacturing, LLC,
Muncie, Indiana.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of
April, 2008.

Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging,
Inc., Longview Mill, Formerly Fibre
Company, Longview, WA; Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
By application dated March 28, 2008,
a petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility for workers and former
workers of the subject firm to apply for

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination signed on March
18, 2008, was based on the finding that
imports of kraft paper did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject plant and there was no shift in
production of kraft paper from the
subject firm abroad. The denial notice
will soon be published in the Federal
Register.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding the subject firm’s
customers and also requested the
Department of Labor conduct further
analysis of imports that are like or
directly competitive with kraft paper.
The Department further reviewed
responses of a sample customer survey
conducted during the initial
investigation. On further analysis, it has
been determined that a significant
number of customers increased their
imports of kraft paper while decreasing
their purchases from the subject firm
from 2006 to 2007.
In accordance with Section 246 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 additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
conclude that increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
kraft paper produced at Longview Fibre
Paper and Packaging, Inc., Longview
Mill, Longview, Washington,
contributed importantly to the declines
in sales or production and to the total
or partial separation of workers at the
subject firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
All workers of Longview Fibre Paper and
Packaging, Inc., Longview Mill, formerly

eligible to apply for alternative trade

Precision Magnetics, Division of
Arnold Magnetics Technology, Wayne,
NJ; Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application on
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on March 11, 2008 (73 FR
13013).
The previous investigation initiated
on December 27, 2007, resulted in a
negative determination issued on
February 4, 2008, was based on the
finding that, during the relevant period,
the subject firm did not shift production
of magnetic components and assemblies
to a foreign country and did not import
magnetic components and assemblies.
The determination also stated that the
workers’ separations were attributed to
a domestic shift of production. The
denial notice was published in the
Federal Register on February 22, 2008
(73 FR 9836).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding production at the
subject firm, imports and customers.
Upon further investigation the
Department requested a list of
customers from the subject firm. New
information revealed that Precision
Magnetics, Division of Arnold Magnetic
Technologies, Wayne, New Jersey
supplies component parts for machined
housings and covers for gearboxes and
generators produced by the primary
firm, and at least 20 percent of its
production or sales is supplied to a

The Department further reviewed responses of a sample customer
survey conducted during the initial investigation. On further analysis,
it has been determined that a significant number of customers increased
their imports of kraft paper while decreasing their purchases from the

After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
