Department’s Notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register
on August 12, 2008 (73 FR 46924).
Workers produce printed materials
including postcards, calendars, and
journals.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject firm did not import printed
materials or shift production of those
articles to a foreign country during the
relevant period. The Department’s
survey of the subject firm’s major
declining customer revealed no
increased imports of postcards,
calendars and journals during the
relevant period.
In the request for reconsideration, the
Graphic Communications Conference of
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters Union, Local 503–M (Union)
stated that the ‘‘import of foreign
printed products put a severe economic
strain on Canterbury Press, which
forced the company to close.’’
The Department has carefully
reviewed the Union’s request for
reconsideration and has determined that
the Department will conduct further
investigation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of
September 2008.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

Shorewood Packaging Corporation, a

Home Entertainment Division, Edison,
NJ; Notice of Negative Determination
on Reconsideration
On July 16, 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 July 28, 2008 (73 FR 43787).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of printed paper
Frm 00117
Fmt 4703

primarily for music and gaming
packaging did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject firm and no shift of production
to a foreign source occurred.
In the request for reconsideration the
petitioner provided an additional list of
customers, who purchased packaging
products for the pharmaceutical and
cosmetic industries.
On reconsideration the Department of
Labor contacted the company official of
the subject firm to verify the
information addressed by the petitioner
and requested an additional list of
customers. The Department surveyed
these customers regarding their
purchases of like or directly competitive
products with printed paper for
packaging during 2006, 2007, and
January through February 2008 over the
corresponding 2007 period. The survey
revealed that only one customer
imported printed paper for packaging,
however imports by this customer have
been declining during the relevant
period. The remaining customers did
not import like or directly competitive
products with printed paper for
packaging during the relevant period.
The petitioner also alleged that
Shorewood Packaging Corporation ‘‘had
plans to open new facilities in Europe
and Asia’’ and that Shorewood
Packaging was outsourcing jobs from the
subject firm overseas.
The company official of the subject
firm confirmed that Shorewood
Packaging Corporation has facilities
abroad and described the functions of
each facility. However, the company
official stated that there was no shift in
production from the subject firm to any
foreign facility in the relevant period.
The company official clarified that the
reason behind the closure of the subject
firm was the change in the market for
the products manufactured by the
Edison facility.
Conclusion
[TA–W–62,802]
PO 00000

After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of

subsidiary of International Paper, Home
Entertainment Division, Edison, New
Jersey.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of
