In accordance with Section 221 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated on February
13, 2009 in response to a petition filed
by a company official on behalf of
workers of The H. B. Smith Company,
Westfield, Massachusetts.
The petitioner has requested that the
petition be withdrawn. Consequently,
the investigation has been terminated.
Jkt 217001
By application dated January 6, 2009,
a worker requested administrative
reconsideration of the Department’s
negative determination regarding
eligibility for workers and former
workers of American Multimedia, Inc.,
Burlington, North Carolina (subject
firm) to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). The
Department’s Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration was signed on
January 9, 2009, and published in the
Federal Register on January 15, 2009
(74 FR 2632).
The initial determination was based
on the Department’s findings that
imports of replicated media (CDs, VHS
tapes, DVDs, and cassette tapes) did not
contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm and that
no shift of production to a foreign
country occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
worker provided additional information
regarding the customers of the subject
firm and alleges that the customers
PO 00000
Frm 00094
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
10621
might have increased imports of CDs,
VHS tapes, DVDs, and cassette tapes.
In order to apply for TAA based on
increased imports, the subject worker
group must meet the group eligibility
requirements under Section 222(a) of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
Under Section 222(a)(2)(A), the
following criteria must be met:
A. A significant number or proportion of
the workers in such workers’ firm, or an
appropriate subdivision of the firm, have
become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially
separated; and
B. The sales or production, or both, of such
firm or subdivision have decreased
absolutely; and
C. Increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced
by such firm or subdivision have contributed
importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in
sales or production of such firm or
subdivision.
A careful review of previouslysubmitted information revealed that
neither the subject firm nor its major
declining customers imported CDs, VHS
tapes, DVDs, and cassette tapes.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
conducted a survey of the customers
identified in the request for
reconsideration regarding their
purchases of CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs, and
cassette tapes (including like or directly
competitive articles) during 2006, 2007,
and 2008. Based on the information
provided by the respondents, the
Department determines that none of the
customers increased their imports while
decreasing their purchases from the
subject firm during the relevant period.
Based on the information above, the
Department determines that the group
eligibility requirements under Section
222(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, were not met.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the subject worker group must
be certified eligible to apply for TAA.
Since the subject workers are denied
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers
cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.
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
American Multimedia, Inc., Burlington,
North Carolina.
