SB Acquisition, LLC, dba Saunders Brothers, Including On-Site 
Leased Workers From Manpower, Fryeburg, ME; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On February 23, 2009, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on March 4, 2009 (74 FR 9432).
    The previous investigation initiated on November 21, 2008, resulted 
in a negative determination issued on January 2, 2009, was based on the 
finding that sales and production at the subject firm increased during 
the period of January through November 2008, when compared to the same 
period in 2007. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register 
on January 26, 2009 (74 FR 4464).
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding the subject firm's monthly sales of 
wood products (dowels) and imports of these products by the subject 
firm into the United States.
    The Department carefully reviewed the information provided during 
the initial investigation and on reconsideration and has determined 
that sales, production and employment at the subject firm declined 
during the relevant period. Furthermore, the investigation revealed 
that company-wide imports of wood products increased during the 
relevant period.
    In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results 
of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply 
for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
    In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility 
to apply for 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 
within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that increased imports of wood products, 
produced by SB Acquisition, LLC, dba Saunders Brothers, Fryeburg, Maine 
contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of 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 SB Acquisition, LLC, dba Saunders Brothers, 
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Fryeburg, Maine, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
November 20, 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 in Washington, DC this 31st day of March 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
