Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
Ecoquest Holdings Corporation,
Greeneville, TN; Amended Certification
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance
BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P
By application dated October 12,
2009, a petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on
September 24, 2009. The Notice of
Determination will soon be published in
the Federal Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that workers’ separations or
threat of separations was not related to
an increase in imports or shift/
acquisition of business research and
clerical support operations to a foreign
country.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that employment at
the subject firm was negatively
impacted by a shift in services from the
subject firm to India. The petitioner also
alleged that the services performed by
workers of the subject firm were
supplied to external customers.
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
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
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.

In accordance with Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘Act’’),
19 U.S.C. 2273, and Section 246 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as
amended, the Department of Labor
issued a Certification of Eligibility to
apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on July 1, 2009, applicable to
workers of Ecoquest Holdings
Corporation, Greeneville, Tennessee.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on August 19, 2009 (74 FR
41932).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activity related
to the production of air and water
purification units.
Findings show that there was a
previous certification, TA–W–60,799,
issued on February 28, 2007, for the
workers of the Greenville, Tennessee
location of Ecoquest Holding
Corporation. That certification expires
February 28, 2009. To avoid an overlap
in worker group coverage for the
workers of the Greenville, Tennessee
location of Ecoquest Holding
Corporation, the certification is being
amended to change the impact date
from May 18, 2008 to March 1, 2009.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to properly
reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Ecoquest Holding Corporation who were
adversely affected by a shift in
production of air and water purification
units to China.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–70,276 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Ecoquest Holdings
Corporation, Greeneville, Tennessee who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 1, 2009,
through July 1, 2011, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible
to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.

Victoria and Company, Ltd, a Division
of Jones Apparel Group: Product
Development Group, East Providence,
RI; Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance
On October 22, 2009, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The previous investigation initiated
on May 18, 2009, resulted in a negative
determination issued on September 10,
2009, and was based on the finding that
imports of solid fragrance compacts 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
petitioners supplied additional
information and alleged that the
workers of the subject firm also
designed and fabricated jewelry master
models and that the subject firm shifted
these functions to China during the
relevant period. The petitioners’
intention was to file a request for
reconsideration for workers engaged in
design and fabrication of master models.
The Department contacted a company
official of the subject firm to address
this allegation. Upon further
investigation, it was revealed that the
workers of the subject firm not only
manufactured solid fragrance compacts,
but also performed technical design
utilizing CAD systems and were
engaged in model making and product
coordination during the relevant period.
These workers were Model Makers,
Product Coordinators and Technical
Designers and were employees of the
Product Development Group. The
workers were separately identifiable
from other workers at the subject firm
by job classification. The investigation
further revealed that the subject firm
shifted technical design, model making
and product coordination functions to a
third party located in Asia and that the

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 217 / Thursday, November 12, 2009 / Notices
worker separations at the above
mentioned department were directly
attributed to this shift.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
determine that workers of Victoria and
Company, Ltd, a Division of Jones
Apparel Group, Product Development
Group, East Providence, Rhode Island,
who are engaged in activities related to
technical design, model making and
product coordination meet the worker
group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223
of the Act, 19. U.S.C. 2273, I make the
following certification:
Workers of Victoria and Company, Ltd, a
Division of Jones Apparel Group, Product
Development Group, East Providence, Rhode
Island, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May
18, 2008, through two years from the date of
this certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date
of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

November 2009.

December 9, 2009 to include on-site

workers assemble Dodge Ram full-sized
pickup trucks.
New information shows that leased
workers from Robinson Solutions were
employed on-site at the Fenton,
Missouri location of Chrysler LLC, St.
Louis North Assembly Plant. The

Assembly Plant to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from Robinson Solutions working onsite at the Fenton, Missouri location of
the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers
employed at Chrysler LLC, St. Louis

Victoria and Company, Ltd, a Division of Jones Apparel Group:
Product Development Group, East Providence, RI; Determination Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance
On October 22, 2009, the Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration applicable to
workers and former workers of the subject firm.
The previous investigation initiated on May 18, 2009, resulted in a
negative determination issued on September 10, 2009, and was based on
the finding that imports of solid fragrance compacts 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 petitioners supplied
additional information and alleged that the workers of the subject firm
also designed and fabricated jewelry master models and that the subject
firm shifted these functions to China during the relevant period. The
petitioners' intention was to file a request for reconsideration for
workers engaged in design and fabrication of master models.
The Department contacted a company official of the subject firm to
address this allegation. Upon further investigation, it was revealed
that the workers of the subject firm not only manufactured solid
fragrance compacts, but also performed technical design utilizing CAD
systems and were engaged in model making and product coordination
during the relevant period. These workers were Model Makers, Product
Coordinators and Technical Designers and were employees of the Product
Development Group. The workers were separately identifiable from other
workers at the subject firm by job classification. The investigation
further revealed that the subject firm shifted technical design, model
making and product coordination functions to a third party located in
Asia and that the
[[Page 58316]]
worker separations at the above mentioned department were directly
attributed to this shift.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I determine that workers of Victoria and Company, Ltd,
a Division of Jones Apparel Group, Product Development Group, East
Providence, Rhode Island, who are engaged in activities related to
technical design, model making and product coordination meet the worker
group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19. U.S.C. 2273, I

certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on date of certification through
two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended.
