Form Tech Industries, LLC; Minverva,
OH; Notice of Termination of
Investigation
tjames on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended, an
investigation was initiated on March 12,
2009 in response to a petition filed by
a company official on behalf of workers
of Form Tech Industries, LLC, Minerva,
Ohio.
The petitioner has requested that the
petition be withdrawn. Consequently,
the investigation has been terminated.
By application dated February 19,
2009, the petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the
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 the
subject firm. The determination was
issued on February 6, 2009. The Notice
of Determination was published in the
Federal Register on March 3, 2009 (74
FR 9283).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of cigarettes did not
contribute importantly to worker
separations at the subject firm. The
investigation revealed that the subject
firm shifted production of cigarettes to
foreign countries during the period
under investigation. However, these
products were not likely to be imported
back to the United States.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding a shift in
production of cigarettes to Colombia,
Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El
Salvador, and Mexico.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974.
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 16th day of
March 2009.

The Department, on its own motion,
reopened its investigation for workers
and former workers of TeckWashington, Inc., Pend Oreille Mine,
Metaline Falls, Washington. The
workers produce zinc concentrate.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination issued on
January 26, 2009, based on the finding
that there were no increased imports of
zinc concentrate, nor did the subject
firm shift production of zinc concentrate
to a foreign country. Since the workers
were denied eligibility to apply for trade
adjustment assistance (TAA) they were
also denied eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers. The notice
was published in the Federal Register
on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 8116).
New information obtained by the
Department shows that there was a shift
in production of zinc concentrate from
the workers’ firm to Mexico.
Employment at the subject firm has
declined.
Based on these findings, it is
determined in this case that the
requirements of (a)(2)(B) of Section 222
have been met.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
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 in the industry
are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful consideration of the new
facts obtained on reopening, it is
concluded that there was a shift in
production by the workers’ firm or
subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with
those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision.
In accordance with the provisions of
the Trade Act of 1974, I make the
following revised determination:

By applications dated February 9,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering the
issuance of a license amendment to
Byproduct Materials License No. 29–
30119–01. This license is held by
Medarex, Incorporated (the Licensee),
for its facilities located at 519 Route 173
West, Bloomsbury, New Jersey (the
Facility). Issuance of the amendment
would authorize release of the Facility
for unrestricted use and termination of
the NRC license. The Licensee requested
this action in a letter dated December 1,
2008. The NRC has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this proposed action in
accordance with the requirements of
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51). Based
on the EA, the NRC has concluded that
a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) is appropriate with respect to
the proposed action. The amendment
will be issued to the Licensee following
the publication of this FONSI and EA in
the Federal Register.
Identification of Proposed Action
The proposed action would approve
the Licensee’s December 1, 2008, license
amendment request, resulting in release
of the Facility for unrestricted use and
the termination of its NRC materials
license. License No. 29–30119–01 was
issued on February 28, 1994, pursuant
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. The application
is, therefore, granted.
