Shiloh Industries, Liverpool

OH; Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration
Dan River, Inc., Danville Operations,
Danville, VA; Amended Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
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 Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration on August 27, 2008,
applicable to workers of Dan River, Inc.,
Danville Operations, Danville, Virginia.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on September 8, 2008 (73 FR
52070–52071).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the Notice of
Revised Determination on
Reconsideration for workers of the
subject firm. The workers are engaged in
the production of package labels and
packaging material.
The review shows that all workers of
Dan River, Inc., Danville, Virginia, were
previously certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under petition
number TA–W–57,724, which expired
on September 13, 2007.
Therefore, in order to avoid an
overlap in worker group coverage, the
Department is amending the April 14,
2007 impact date established for TA–
W–63,197 to read September 14, 2007.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–63,197 is hereby issued as
follows:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
‘‘All workers of Dan River, Inc., Danville
Operations, Danville, Virginia, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 14, 2007
through August 27, 2010, 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.’’
Signed in Washington, DC., this 15th day
of September 2008.

On July 25, 2008, the Department
issued a negative determination
regarding workers’ eligibility to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
and Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to
workers and former workers of Shiloh
Industries, Liverpool Manufacturing
Division, Valley City, Ohio (subject
firm). The notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on
August 12, 2008 (73 FR 46924).
The petition for TAA and ATAA,
dated April 14, 2008, was filed on
behalf of the subject worker group by a
representative of the International
Union, United Automobile, Aerospace
and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America—United Auto Workers, Region
2–B (Union). The subject worker group
produces automotive stampings and
weldments (a unit formed by welding
together an assembly of pieces). Workers
are not separately identifiable by
product line.
The negative determination stated
that the subject firm did not import
automotive stampings and weldments in
2006 through March 2008, and did not
shift production to a foreign country
during the relevant period. The
Department’s survey of the subject
firm’s largest customers revealed that no
customer which contributed
significantly to the subject firm’s sales
decline increased its imports during the
relevant period. U.S. aggregate imports
of motor vehicle metal stampings
decreased in January through May 2008
compared with the corresponding 2007
period.
The request for reconsideration
alleges that the subject firm out-sourced
to a foreign company the production of
valve covers (a specific type of
automotive stamping) and that the
subject firm ‘‘may have lost work’’ to
another domestic company, and that
this domestic competitor ‘‘may be TAA
eligible.’’
A careful review of previouslysubmitted information revealed that the
Department investigated whether the
subject firm had shifted production of
automotive stampings or weldments to
a foreign country or have scheduled any
such shift, and that the subject firm did
not and is not scheduled to shift

production. The review also revealed
that a major declining customer
increased their reliance on foreignproduced automotive stampings while
decreasing purchases from the subject
firm.
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 facts
obtained during the reconsideration
investigation, I determine that increases
of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with automotive stampings
produced at the subject firm contributed
importantly to the total or partial
separation of the subject 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 Shiloh Industries,
Liverpool Manufacturing Division, Valley
City, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April
14, 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.’’
Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of
September 2008.
