Regarding Eligibility To Apply for

Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
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, as
amended, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance on December 15,
2008, applicable to workers of Visteon
Systems, LLC, North Penn Plant,
Electronics Products Group, including
on-site leased workers from Ryder
Intergrated Logistics, Lansdale,
Pennsylvania. The notice will be
published soon in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers produce power control
modules, SDARS, and sensors.
The review shows that all workers of
Visteon Systems, LLC, North Penn
Electronics Facility, Lansdale,
Pennsylvania, were certified eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under
petition number TA–W–60,432, which
expired on December 5, 2008.
In order to avoid an overlap in worker
group coverage, the Department is
On November 13, 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 November 25, 2008 (73 FR
71693).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of plastic closures
for plastic food industry 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 alleged that the subject firm
‘‘is shifting production of T-tops to
China.’’
On reconsideration the Department of
Labor contacted a company official of
the subject firm to address this
allegation. The company official stated
that during the initial phases of
developing the closure plan, Rexam
considered shifting production of T-Top
product line to China. However, since
then, Rexam has decided to sell or scrap

the T-Top assets within the United
States. Furthermore, the subject firm
official confirmed that Rexam did not
shift any production from the subject
firm abroad.
The petitioner further alleged that
‘‘Rexam is closing in Bowling Green,
Ohio due to loss of sales to global
competitors.’’
In order to establish an import impact
on domestic production, the Department
conducts a survey of the declining
domestic customers of the workers’ firm
regarding their purchases of like or
directly competitive products. The
customer survey was not conducted in
the initial investigation due to the fact
that sales at the subject facility did not
decline from 2006 to 2007 or from
January through August 2008 over the
corresponding period in 2007.
To address the petitioner allegations,
the Department requested additional
information from the subject firm
regarding sales to customers. Further
investigation revealed that the subject
firm had declining customers in the
relevant period. The Department
surveyed these customers regarding
their purchases of plastic closures
(including like or directly competitive
products) during 2006, 2007, and
January through August 2008 over the
corresponding 2007 period. The survey
revealed no imports of plastic closures
(including like or directly competitive
products) during the relevant period.
The subject firm did not import
plastic closures for plastic food industry
packaging during the relevant period
and no shift in production of plastic
closures for plastic food industry
packaging to a foreign source occurred.
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 Rexam
Closure Systems, Inc., Bowling Green,
Ohio.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of
December 2008.
