Jaquart Fabric Products Incorporated,
Ironwood, MI; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
On March 31, 2008, the Department of
Labor (Department) received a request
for administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s notice of determination
regarding workers’ eligibility to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
and Alternative Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA) applicable to workers and
former workers of Jacquart Fabric
Products Incorporated, Ironwood,
Michigan (the subject firm). The
Department’s Notice of negative
determination was published in the
Federal Register on March 7, 2008 (73
FR 12466). Workers are engaged in
activity related to the production of
motorcycle seats.
The determination was based on the
Department’s findings that subject firm
sales and production increased in 2007
as compared to 2006; the subject firm
did not import motorcycle seats; and the
subject firm did not shift production
abroad. The determination did not
indicate whether the subject firm
supplied component parts for articles
produced by a firm with a currently
TAA-certified worker group or
assembled or finished articles provided
by a firm with a currently TAA-certified
worker group.
In the request for reconsideration, a
representative of the State of Michigan
Department of Labor and Economic
Growth asserted that the subject firm
produces motorcycle seats for a TAAcertified company (primary firm) and
that the subject workers are eligible to
apply for TAA as secondarily-affected
workers.
In order to receive a secondary
certification, a significant number or
proportion of workers in the subject
firm have been, or are threatened to
become, totally or partially separated
and that the subject firm is a supplier or
downstream producer (finisher or
assembler) to a firm that employed a
group of workers who received a TAA
certification, and such supply or
production is related to the article that
was the basis for such certification.
In addition, if the subject firm is a
supplier to a TAA-certified company,
either the component parts supplied to
that company must account for at least
20 percent of the subject firm’s sales or
production, or a loss of business by the
subject firm with the TAA-certified firm

contributed importantly to the
petitioning workers’ separations or
threat of separation; and, if the subject
firm is a downstream producer, the TAA
certification of the primary firm must be
based on a shift of production to Canada
or Mexico or import impact from
Canada or Mexico and a loss of business
by the subject firm with the TAAcertified firm contributed importantly to
the petitioning workers’ separations or
threat of separation.
On reconsideration, the Department
confirmed that a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the subject
firm has become totally separated or
partially separated.
Based on new and additional
information provided by the subject
firm and the primary firm during the
reconsideration investigation, the
Department determines that the subject
workers produced upholstered seat
cushions; that the subject firm supplied
these articles to MILSCO Manufacturing
Company, A Unit of Jason
Incorporation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(TAA certified on November 27, 2007;
TA–W–62,382); that the supply of
upholstered seat cushions is related to
the motorcycle seats that are the basis
for the primary firm workers’
certification; and the component part it
supplied to the firm (or subdivision)
accpunted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers firm.
Based on the afore-mentioned
information, the Department determines
that the petitioning worker group has
satisfied the requirements for secondary
TAA certification.
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 and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
information obtained in the
reconsideration investigation, I
determine that workers and former
workers of Jacquart Fabric Products
Incorporated, Ironwood, Michigan,
qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of
the Act, I make the following
certification:
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
27563
‘‘All workers of Jacquart Fabric Products
Incorporated, Ironwood, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 31, 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.’’
