Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 167 / Monday, August 30, 2010 / Notices
(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 of the
TAA petition filed on behalf of workers
at Specialty Chemicals, Inc., Franklin,
Virginia, was based on the finding that
there was no shift/acquisition of
production of precipitated calcium
carbonate from the subject firm to a
foreign country; nor was there any
increase in imports of articles like or
directly competitive with precipitated
calcium carbonate produced at the
subject facility; nor was the component
part produced by the subject firm
(precipitated calcium carbonate)
directly incorporated into a firm’s
production of an article that was the
basis of a primary TAA certification.
The company official’s request for
reconsideration stated that the workers
of the subject firm should be eligible for
TAA because ‘‘our customer,
International Paper (IP) Franklin,
Virginia is certified as a Primary
Producer (see TA–W–70,243). The date
of the certification is still within the
relevant period for the separations for
which benefits are sought.’’ The
company official asserts that workers of
the subject firm are eligible to apply for
TAA as adversely affected secondary
workers.
The initial investigation revealed that
there are two International Paper
Company facilities in Franklin, Virginia,
that employed workers who are eligible
to apply for TAA. Workers at
International Paper Company (Lumber
Plant) Franklin, Virginia were certified
as adversely affected primary workers
(TA–W–70,243) and workers at
International Paper Company, Franklin
Pulp and Paper Mill, Franklin, Virginia
were certified as adversely affected
secondary workers (TA–W–72,764).
The Department believes that the
company official misidentified the
petition number of International Paper
Company, Franklin Pulp and Paper
Mill, Franklin, Virginia because, during
the initial investigation, the company
official confirmed that precipitated
calcium carbonate was incorporated
into the paper produced by
International Paper Company, Franklin
Pulp and Paper Mill, Franklin, Virginia
and International Paper Company
confirmed that the subject firm supplied

precipitated calcium carbonate to
International Paper Company, Franklin
Pulp and Paper Mill, Franklin, Virginia.
The worker’s request for
reconsideration stated that the subject
firm is a ‘‘supplier/downstream
producer’’ to ‘‘International Paper’’ and
‘‘closed down as a direct result of what
happened at the Franklin paper mill.’’
The Department determines that
International Paper Company, Franklin
Pulp and Paper Mill, Franklin, Virginia
is the ‘‘Franklin paper mill.’’
Section 222(c) of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended, states that adversely
affected secondary workers must be
employed by a firm that is a supplier to
a firm that employed a worker group
who are adversely affected primary
workers. Therefore, the supply of
precipitated calcium carbonate to
International Paper Company, Franklin
Pulp and Paper Mill, Franklin, Virginia
cannot be a basis for certification for
workers of the subject firm.
The petitioners 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
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 19th day of
August, 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment
Assistance.
