During the initial investigation, the Department inquired into the allegation that ‘‘As of July 2010 our film used to produce the newspaper and made in Japan will no longer be manufactured anywhere.’’ The investigation confirmed that the subject firm produced print publications and revealed that, while there is a general decline of the film manufacturing industry, the separations at the subject firm are unrelated to increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with the print publications produced at the subject firm or a shift of production to a foreign country, or acquisition from a foreign country, of articles like or directly competitive with the print publications produced at the subject firm. In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleges that the subject workers are eligible to apply for TAA as adversely affected secondary workers. The petitioning workers do not meet the criteria set forth in Section 222(c) because the subject firm neither supplied component parts for the product made by a firm that employed a worker group that is currently eligible to apply for TAA (Konica) nor engaged in a further stage of production of the articles produced by a firm that employed a worker group that is currently eligible to apply for TAA (Konica). Neither of those relationships exists between Dow Jones & Company, West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, and any Konica facility. The petitioner did not supply facts not previously considered; nor provide additional documentation indicating that there was either (1) a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered or (2) a misinterpretation of facts or of the law justifying reconsideration of the initial determination. After careful review of the request for reconsideration, the Department determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not been met. Conclusion After review of the application and investigative findings, I conclude that VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:04 Jul 23, 2010 Jkt 220001 there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department of Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied. Signed in Washington, DC, this 9th day of July 2010. Del Min Amy Chen, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.

Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), reconsideration may be granted under the following circumstances: (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered that the determination complained of was erroneous; (2) if it appears that the determination complained of was based on a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or (3) if in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of the decision.

In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner states that the workers of the subject firm should be eligible for TAA because the subject firm has shifted abroad the airline travel arrangement and reservation services provided by the workers. The petitioner also asserts that the subject firm has separated additional workers and more separations are anticipated at various locations throughout the United States. Additionally, the petitioner states that the subject firm facility in Denver, Colorado was not considered in the investigation. During the initial investigation, the Department obtained information that shows that the subject firm did not shift the supply of airline travel arrangement and reservation services to a foreign country and that the worker separations were due to the diminished need for such services due to increased use of technology (on-line self-service reservations systems and electronic ticketing). Because workers are not eligible to file a petition for locations other than the one at which they are or were employed, the petitioner’s assertion that the Department should have included the Denver, Colorado location in the determination is not a basis for reconsideration.

The determination was based on the Department’s finding that neither increased imports nor a shift in production to a foreign country contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject firm. The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of polyester non-woven fabric. The negative determination was issued on April 16, 2010. The Department’s Notice of negative determination was published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2010 (75 FR 28301). In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that increased production at an affiliated facility in China caused the loss of business at the Spartanburg, South Carolina facility. Based on additional information provided by the subject firm during the reconsideration investigation, the Department determines that the subject firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like or directly competitive with the polyester nonwoven fabric produced at the subject facility and that the shift of production to China contributed importantly to VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:04 Jul 23, 2010 Jkt 220001 worker separations at the Spartanburg, South Carolina facility.

TA-W-71,483, Continental Airlines, Inc., Reservations Division, 
Houston, TX; TA-W-71,483A, Continental Airlines, Inc., Reservations 
Division, Tampa, FL; TA-W-71,483B, Continental Airlines, Inc., 
Reservations Division, Salt Lake City, UT; Notice of Negative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated May 10, 2010, the petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's determination 
regarding eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was signed on April 16, 2010. The Department's Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2010 (75 
FR 28301).
    Workers of Continental Airlines, Inc., Reservations Division are 
engaged in employment related to the supply of airline travel 
arrangement and reservation services.
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) if it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
    (3) if in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a 
misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of 
the decision.
    The negative determination applicable to workers and former workers 
at Continental Airlines, Inc., Reservations Division, Houston, Texas, 
Continental Airlines, Inc., Reservations Division, Tampa, Florida, and 
Continental Airlines, Inc., Reservations Division, Salt Lake City, 
Utah, was based on the findings that the subject firm did not, during 
the period under investigation, shift to a foreign country the supply 
of airline travel arrangement and reservation services (or like or 
directly competitive services) or acquire from a foreign country the 
supply of airline travel arrangement and reservation services (or like 
or directly competitive services); that the workers' separation, or 
threat of separation, was not related to any increase in imports of the 
supply of airline travel arrangement and reservation services (or like 
or directly competitive services) or the shift/acquisition of the 
supply of airline travel arrangement and reservation services (or like 
or directly competitive services); and that the workers did not supply 
a service that was directly used in the production of an article or the 
supply of service by a firm that employed a worker group that is 
eligible to apply for TAA based on the afore-mentioned article or 
service.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner states that the 
workers of the subject firm should be eligible for TAA because the 
subject firm has shifted abroad the airline travel arrangement and 
reservation services provided by the workers. The petitioner also 
asserts that the subject firm has separated additional workers and more 
separations are anticipated at various locations throughout the United 
States. Additionally, the petitioner states that the subject firm 
facility in Denver, Colorado was not considered in the investigation.
    During the initial investigation, the Department obtained 
information that shows that the subject firm did not shift the supply 
of airline travel arrangement and reservation services to a foreign 
country and that the worker separations were due to the diminished need 
for such services due to increased use of technology (on-line self-
service reservations systems and electronic ticketing).
    Because workers are not eligible to file a petition for locations 
other than the one at which they are or were employed, the petitioner's 
assertion that the Department should have included the Denver, Colorado 
location in the determination is not a basis for reconsideration.
    The petitioner did not supply facts not previously considered; nor 
provide additional documentation indicating that there was either: (1) 
A mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or 
(2) a misinterpretation of facts or of the law justifying 
reconsideration of the initial determination.

[[Page 43565]]

    After careful review of the request for reconsideration, the 
Department determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not been met.

Conclusion

    After review of the application and investigative findings, I 
conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law 
or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department 
of Labor's prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied.

    Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of July 2010.
