Magnesium Aluminum Corporation
Including On-Site Leased Workers
From Alliance Staffing Solutions and

Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and
section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on April 4, 2008, applicable
to workers of Magnesium Aluminum
Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Alliance Staffing
Solutions, Cleveland, Ohio. The notice
was published in the Federal Register
on April 17, 2008 (73 FR 20954).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production
of aluminum and magnesium castings
for the automotive industry.
New information shows that a leased
worker of Staff, Inc. was employed onsite at the Cleveland, Ohio, location of
Magnesium Aluminum Corporation.
The Department has determined that
this worker was sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include a leased worker
of Staff, Inc. working on-site at the
Cleveland, Ohio, location of the subject
firm.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers
employed at Magnesium Aluminum
Corporation who were adversely
affected by a shift in production of
aluminum and magnesium castings to
Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–62,850 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Magnesium Aluminum
Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Alliance Staffing Solutions and Staff,
Inc., Cleveland, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after February 13, 2007, through April 4,
2010, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under

Russound Also Known as Folded
Metal Products, Inc., Newmarket, NH;
Notice of Negative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application received May 7, 2008,
a petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA), applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The denial notice was signed on April
11, 2008 and published in the Federal
Register on April 23, 2008 (73 FR
21992).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
29783
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The negative TAA determination
issued by the Department for workers of
Russound, also known as Folded Metal
Products, Inc., Newmarket, New
Hampshire was based on the finding
that the worker group does not produce
an article within the meaning of Section
222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
The petitioner infers that employment
at the subject firm was negatively
impacted by the outsourcing of
production by other companies to
foreign sources. Following this shift of
production abroad, jobs performed by
workers of the subject firm (electronic,
mechanical and industrial designers and
engineers, supply chain managers,
safety/compliance engineers) were also
shifted or outsourced abroad. The
petitioner also states that regardless of
whether the workers of the subject firm
produce a product or provide services,
they should be certified eligible for
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
The investigation revealed that the
workers of Russound, also known as
Folded Metal Products, Inc.,
Newmarket, New Hampshire are
engaged in functions related to the
design and distribution of audio-video
systems and connectivity products.
These functions, as described above, are
not considered production of an article
within the meaning of Section 222 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
The allegation of a shift to another
country might be relevant if it was
determined that workers of the subject
firm produced an article. Since the
investigation determined that workers of
Russound, also known as Folded Metal
Products, Inc., Newmarket, New
Hampshire do not produce an article,
there cannot be imports nor a shift in
production of an ‘‘article’’ abroad within
the meaning of the Trade Act of 1974 in
this instance.
The petitioner did not supply facts
not previously considered; nor provide
additional documentation indicating
that there was either (1) a mistake in the
determination of facts not previously
considered or (2) a misinterpretation of
facts or of the law justifying
reconsideration of the initial
determination.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration, the Department
determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not
been met.
