Impact on Eligible Communities
Since this program is new, EDA is
still in the process of collecting longterm, market-based data. However,
grantee estimates suggest that 6,586 jobs
will be created, and 1,892 jobs will be
retained as a result of grants awarded
under CTAA. As noted above, job
creation projections were not provided
by grantees that received funding to
develop strategic plans—however, it is
likely that many jobs will be created

when those plans are implemented over
the next few years.
The CTAA program illustrates that
EDA is able to address trade impact
issues effectively at the community
level. It is anticipated that many
businesses from across the nation will
benefit from the 36 CTAA-funded
projects through the development and
implementation of sound regional
economic recovery and development
strategies. These strategies will help
provide the hard and soft infrastructure
needed for businesses to successfully
compete in the global marketplace.

Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms
Program Fiscal Year 2010 Annual
Report
Economic Development
Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This annual report is
submitted in accordance with Section
1866 of the Trade and Globalization
Adjustment Assistance Act (TGAAA) of
2009, which was included as subtitle I
(letter ‘‘I’’) of title I of Division B of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5, 123 Stat.
115, at 367). Section 1866 of the
TGAAA directs the Secretary of
Commerce to submit to Congress an
annual report on the Trade Adjustment
Assistance for Firms (TAAF) Program by
the 15th of December each year. The
TAAF Program is one of four Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Programs
authorized by the Trade Act of 1974 (19
U.S.C. 2341 et seq.) (Trade Act).
Administered by the Department of
Commerce’s Economic Development
Administration (EDA), the goal of the
TAAF Program is to help economically
distressed U.S. businesses develop
strategies to compete in the global
economy. In general, the program
provides cost-sharing technical
assistance to eligible businesses to
create and implement targeted business
recovery plans, called Adjustment
Proposals under the program. Firms
contribute a matching share to create
and implement their plan.
Technical assistance is provided
through a nationwide network of eleven

EDA-funded Trade Adjustment
Assistance Centers (TAACs), which are
either non-profits or universityaffiliated. The TAACs provide
assistance to firms petitioning EDA for
certification of eligibility under the
program and in the development and
implementation of business recovery
plans.
Firms that completed the TAAF
Program in FY 2008 report that at
completion, average sales were $10.3
million, average employment was 73,
and average productivity was $140,977
(sales per employee). One year after
completing the program (FY 2009),
firms report that average sales increased
by one percent, average employment
decreased by 10 percent, and average
productivity increased by 11 percent.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
reported that nationwide for the
manufacturing industry in FY 2009,
average employment decreased 12
percent and average productivity
increased by 4 percent. Two years after
completing the program (FY 2010),
firms report that average sales decreased
by 14 percent, average employment
decreased by 16 percent, and average
productivity increased by 3 percent.
BLS reported that nationwide for the
manufacturing industry in FY 2010,
average employment decreased 12
percent and average productivity
increased by 9 percent.
Overall, there has been an increase in
the demand for the TAAF Program in
FY 2010, as demonstrated by the
increase in the number of petitions for
certification and Adjustment Proposals
submitted to EDA for approval. In FY
2010, EDA approved an additional 114
petitions, a 53 percent increase as
compared to FY 2009; and approved an
additional 93 Adjustment Proposals, a
54 percent increase as compared to FY
2009.
The addition of TAAF staff resources
facilitated EDA’s ability to improve
processing time for petitions and
Adjustment Proposals in FY 2010.
Although there was a spike in petitions
and Adjustment Proposals, EDA
successfully met the 40-day processing
deadline to make a final determination
for petitions accepted for filing; and the
60-day processing deadline for approval
of Adjustment Proposals as required in
the TGAAA. In fact, the average
processing time for petitions has started
to decline below the 40-day requirement
and the average processing time for
Adjustment Proposals is below 30 days.

Program Description
The TAAF program is one of four
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
programs authorized under the Trade
Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341 et seq.)
(Trade Act). The responsibility for
administering the TAAF program is
delegated by the Secretary of Commerce
to the Economic Development
Administration (EDA). TAAF program
provides technical assistance to
manufacturers and service firms affected
by import competition to help the firms
develop and implement projects to
regain global competitiveness.
The mission of the TAAF Program is
to help U.S. firms regain
competitiveness in the global economy.
Import-impacted U.S. manufacturing,
production, and service firms can
receive matching funds for projects that
expand markets, strengthen operations,
and sharpen competitiveness through
TAAF. The program provides assistance
in the development of business recovery
plans, which are known as Adjustment
Proposals under Section 252 of the
Trade Act, and matching funds to
implement projects outlined in the
Adjustment Proposals.
The TAAF Program supports a
national network of 11 non-profit or
university-affiliated Trade Adjustment
Assistance Centers (TAACs) to help U.S.
manufacturing, production, and service
firms in all fifty states, the District of
Columbia, and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico. Firms work with the
TAACs to apply for certification for
TAAF assistance, and prepare and
implement strategies to guide their
economic recovery.
The other TAA programs are TAA for
Workers, Farmers, and Communities,
which are administered by the
Departments of Labor, Agriculture, and
Commerce through EDA, respectively.

As noted above, the TAAF Program
provides technical assistance in the
development and implementation of
Adjustment Proposals. Projects are
aimed at improving a firm’s competitive
position. Specifically, funds are applied
toward the cost of consultants,
engineers, designers, or industry experts
for improvement projects in targeted
areas that can better a firm’s position,
such as engineering, information
technology, management, market
development, marketing, new product
development, quality improvement, and

sales. Funds are not provided directly to
firms; instead EDA funds TAACs and
TAACs pay a cost-shared proportion of
the cost to secure specialized business
consultants.
To certify a firm as eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance, the Secretary
must determine that three conditions
are met:
1. A significant number or proportion
of the workers in the firm have been or
are threatened to be totally or partially
separated;
2. Sales and/or production of the firm
have decreased absolutely, or sales and/
or production of an article or service

that accounted for at least 25 percent of
total production or sales of the firm
during the 12, 24, or 36 months
preceding the most recent 12, 24, or 36month period for which data are
available have decreased absolutely; and
3. Increased imports of articles like or
directly competitive with articles
produced or services provided by the
firm have ‘‘contributed importantly’’ to
both the layoffs and the decline in sales
and/or production.

Program Initiative
The main responsibilities of the
TAACS include:
• Assisting firms in preparing their
petitions for TAAF. Firms are not
charged for any assistance related to
preparing a petition.
• Once a petition has been approved,
TAACs work closely with firm
management to identify the firm’s
strengths and weaknesses and develop a
customized Adjustment Proposal
designed to stimulate recovery and
growth. The program pays up to 75% of
the cost of developing an Adjustment
Proposal and the firm must pay the rest.
EDA must approve all Adjustment
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
Proposals to ensure they conform to
statutory and regulatory requirements.
• After an Adjustment Proposal has
been approved, company management
and TAAC staff jointly identify
consultants with the specific expertise
required to assist the firm.
• Under the TAAF Program, EDA
shares the cost of Adjustment Proposal
task implementation. For an Adjustment
Proposal in which proposed tasks total
$30,000 or less, EDA will provide 75
percent of the cost and the firm is
responsible for the balance. For an
Adjustment Proposal in which proposed
tasks total over $30,000, EDA and the
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4617
firm share the implementation costs
evenly; EDA pays 50 percent of the total
cost and the firm pays 50 percent. Due
to limited program funding, EDA limits
its share of technical assistance to a
certified firm to $75,000. After a
competitive procurement process, the
TAAC and the firm generally contract
with private consultants to implement
the Adjustment Proposal.
There are three main phases to
receiving technical assistance under the
program. The phases are (1) petitioning
for certification, (2) recovery planning,
and (3) project implementation.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2011 / Notices
Phase I—Petitioning for Certification
The first step to receiving assistance
is the submission of a petition to EDA
to be certified as a trade impacted firm.
This petition is Form ED–840P ‘‘Petition
by a Firm for Certification of Eligibility
to Apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance’’ and any supporting
documentation. Certification specialists
within the TAACs generally work with
the firm at no cost to complete and
submit a petition to EDA.
Upon receipt of the petition, EDA
performs a thorough analysis of the
petition and supporting documents to
determine if the petition is complete
and may be accepted. EDA is required
to make a final determination on the
petition within 40 days of accepting a
petition.1
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Phase II—Recovery Planning
Certified firms then work with TAAC
staff to develop a customized
Adjustment Proposal and submit to EDA
for approval. Once an Adjustment
Proposal has been submitted, EDA is
required to make a final determination
within 60 days.
Phase III—Adjustment Proposal
Implementation
The firm works with consultants to
implement projects in an approved
Adjustment Proposal. As projects are
implemented and if the firm is satisfied
with the work, the firm will first pay
their match to the consultant, and then
send a notice to the TAAC stating that
1 As of May 17, 2009, the deadline for making a
final determination is 40 days. Before May 17, 2009,
EDA had 60 days to make a determination.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:27 Jan 25, 2011
Jkt 223001
they are satisfied with the work and that
they have paid their matching share.
The TAAC will then pay the Federal
matching share. Firms have up to five
years from the date of an Adjustment
Proposal’s approval to implement it,
unless they receive approval for an
extension. Generally, firms complete the
implementation of their Adjustment
Proposals over a two-year period.
Results/Findings
Data for This Report
The data used in this report was
collected from the TAACs as part of
their reporting requirements, petitions
for certification, and the Adjustment
Proposals submitted by the TAACs on
behalf of firms. Data from these sources
were recorded into a central database by
Eligibility Reviewers at EDA. Results for
average processing times and the
number of approved and denied
petitions and Adjustment Proposal were
derived by EDA.

Between FY 2008 and FY 2010, two
years after completing the program,
firms report that average sales decreased
by 14 percent, average employment
decreased by 16 percent, and average
productivity increased by 3 percent.
BLS reports that nationwide for the
manufacturing industry, average
This measure is used because it can be
generally applied to all certified firms.
However, BLS’ productivity measures
relate output to the labor hours used in
the production of that output.
employment decreased 12 percent and
average productivity increased by 9
percent.
For the purposes of this report, data
was reported only for firms where all
data was available. Since the certified
firms are in various industries, which
have a variety of ways to measure
productivity, sales per employee was
chosen as the productivity measure.

Conclusion
TAAF effectively targeted small and
medium sized firms FY 2010. The
average sales, employment and
productivity of firms certified into the
program in FY 2010 was higher than
that of firms certified in FY 2009. More
than half of all firms proposed to
implement a marketing/sales project or

production/engineering project in their
Adjustment Proposals.
Firms that completed the TAAF
Program in FY 2008 report that at
completion, average sales were $10.3
million, average employment was 73,
and average productivity was $140,977
(sales per employee). One year after
completing the program (FY 2009),
firms report that average sales increased
by one percent, average employment
decreased by 10 percent, and average
productivity increased by 11 percent.
BLS reported that nationwide for the
manufacturing industry in FY 2009,
average employment decreased 12
percent and average productivity
increased by 4 percent. Two years after
completing the program (FY 2010),
firms report that average sales decreased
by 14 percent, average employment
decreased by 16 percent, and average
productivity increased by 3 percent.
BLS reported that nationwide for the
manufacturing industry in FY 2010,
average employment decreased 12
percent and average productivity
increased by 9 percent.
Overall, there has been an increase in
the demand for the TAAF Program in
FY 2010, as demonstrated by the
increase in the number of petitions for
certification and Adjustment Proposals
submitted to EDA for approval. In FY
2010, EDA approved an additional 114
petitions, a 53 percent increase as
compared to FY 2009; and approved an
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
additional 93 Adjustment Proposals, a
54 percent increase as compared to FY
2009.
The addition of TAAF staff resources
facilitated EDA’s ability to improve
processing time for petitions and
Adjustment Proposals in FY 2010.
Although there was a spike in petitions
and Adjustment Proposals, EDA
successfully met the 40-day processing
deadline to make a final determination
for petitions accepted for filing; and the
60-day processing deadline for approval
of Adjustment Proposals as required in
the TGAAA. In fact, the average
processing time for petitions has started
to decline below the 40-day requirement
and the average processing time for
Adjustment Proposals is below 30 days.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Economic Development Administration
Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms Program Fiscal Year 2010
Annual Report
AGENCY: Economic Development Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This annual report is submitted in accordance with Section
1866 of the Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act (TGAAA)
of 2009, which was included as subtitle I (letter ``I'') of title I of
Division B of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub.
L. 111-5, 123 Stat. 115, at 367). Section 1866 of the TGAAA directs the
Secretary of Commerce to submit to Congress an annual report on the
Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) Program by the 15th of
December each year. The TAAF Program is one of four Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) Programs authorized by the Trade Act of 1974 (19
U.S.C. 2341 et seq.) (Trade Act).
Administered by the Department of Commerce's Economic Development
Administration (EDA), the goal of the TAAF Program is to help
economically distressed U.S. businesses develop strategies to compete
in the global economy. In general, the program provides cost-sharing
technical assistance to eligible businesses to create and implement
targeted business recovery plans, called Adjustment Proposals under the
program. Firms contribute a matching share to create and implement
their plan.
Technical assistance is provided through a nationwide network of
eleven EDA-funded Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers (TAACs), which
are either non-profits or university-affiliated. The TAACs provide
assistance to firms petitioning EDA for certification of eligibility
under the program and in the development and implementation of business
recovery plans.
Firms that completed the TAAF Program in FY 2008 report that at
completion, average sales were $10.3 million, average employment was
73, and average productivity was $140,977 (sales per employee). One
year after completing the program (FY 2009), firms report that average
sales increased by one percent, average employment decreased by 10
percent, and average productivity increased by 11 percent. The Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nationwide for the
manufacturing industry in FY 2009, average employment decreased 12
percent and average productivity increased by 4 percent. Two years
after completing the program (FY 2010), firms report that average sales
decreased by 14 percent, average employment decreased by 16 percent,
and average productivity increased by 3 percent. BLS reported that
nationwide for the manufacturing industry in FY 2010, average
employment decreased 12 percent and average productivity increased by 9
percent.
Overall, there has been an increase in the demand for the TAAF
Program in FY 2010, as demonstrated by the increase in the number of
petitions for certification and Adjustment Proposals submitted to EDA
for approval. In FY 2010, EDA approved an additional 114 petitions, a
53 percent increase as compared to FY 2009; and approved an additional
93 Adjustment Proposals, a 54 percent increase as compared to FY 2009.
The addition of TAAF staff resources facilitated EDA's ability to
improve processing time for petitions and Adjustment Proposals in FY
2010. Although there was a spike in petitions and Adjustment Proposals,
EDA successfully met the 40-day processing deadline to make a final
determination for petitions accepted for filing; and the 60-day
processing deadline for approval of Adjustment Proposals as required in
the TGAAA. In fact, the average processing time for petitions has
started to decline below the 40-day requirement and the average
processing time for Adjustment Proposals is below 30 days.

Program Description
The TAAF program is one of four Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
programs authorized under the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341 et
seq.) (Trade Act). The responsibility for administering the TAAF
program is delegated by the Secretary of Commerce to the Economic
Development Administration (EDA). TAAF program provides technical
assistance to manufacturers and service firms affected by import
competition to help the firms develop and implement projects to regain
global competitiveness.
The mission of the TAAF Program is to help U.S. firms regain
competitiveness in the global economy. Import-impacted U.S.
manufacturing, production, and service firms can receive matching funds
for projects that expand markets, strengthen operations, and sharpen
competitiveness through TAAF. The program provides assistance in the
development of business recovery plans, which are known as Adjustment
Proposals under Section 252 of the Trade Act, and matching funds to
implement projects outlined in the Adjustment Proposals.
The TAAF Program supports a national network of 11 non-profit or
university-affiliated Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers (TAACs) to
help U.S. manufacturing, production, and service firms in all fifty
states, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Firms work with the TAACs to apply for certification for TAAF
assistance, and prepare and implement strategies to guide their
economic recovery.
The other TAA programs are TAA for Workers, Farmers, and
Communities, which are administered by the Departments of Labor,
Agriculture, and Commerce through EDA, respectively.
Exhibit 1: TAA Programs

Program Initiative
As noted above, the TAAF Program provides technical assistance in
the development and implementation of Adjustment Proposals. Projects
are aimed at improving a firm's competitive position. Specifically,
funds are applied toward the cost of consultants, engineers, designers,
or industry experts for improvement projects in targeted areas that can
better a firm's position, such as engineering, information technology,
management, market development, marketing, new product development,
quality improvement, and sales. Funds are not provided directly to
firms; instead EDA funds TAACs and TAACs pay a cost-shared proportion
of the cost to secure specialized business consultants.
To certify a firm as eligible to apply for adjustment assistance,
the Secretary must determine that three conditions are met:
1. A significant number or proportion of the workers in the firm
have been or are threatened to be totally or partially separated;
2. Sales and/or production of the firm have decreased absolutely,
or sales and/or production of an article or service that accounted for
at least 25 percent of total production or sales of the firm during the
12, 24, or 36 months preceding the most recent 12, 24, or 36-month
period for which data are available have decreased absolutely; and
3. Increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with
articles produced or services provided by the firm have ``contributed
importantly'' to both the layoffs and the decline in sales and/or
production.
BILLING CODE 3510-24-P
Exhibit 2: TAACs and Their Respective Service Areas
[[Page 4617]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN26JA11.012
The main responsibilities of the TAACS include:
Assisting firms in preparing their petitions for TAAF.
Firms are not charged for any assistance related to preparing a
petition.
Once a petition has been approved, TAACs work closely with
firm management to identify the firm's strengths and weaknesses and
develop a customized Adjustment Proposal designed to stimulate recovery
and growth. The program pays up to 75% of the cost of developing an
Adjustment Proposal and the firm must pay the rest. EDA must approve
all Adjustment Proposals to ensure they conform to statutory and
regulatory requirements.
After an Adjustment Proposal has been approved, company
management and TAAC staff jointly identify consultants with the
specific expertise required to assist the firm.
Under the TAAF Program, EDA shares the cost of Adjustment
Proposal task implementation. For an Adjustment Proposal in which
proposed tasks total $30,000 or less, EDA will provide 75 percent of
the cost and the firm is responsible for the balance. For an Adjustment
Proposal in which proposed tasks total over $30,000, EDA and the firm
share the implementation costs evenly; EDA pays 50 percent of the total
cost and the firm pays 50 percent. Due to limited program funding, EDA
limits its share of technical assistance to a certified firm to
$75,000. After a competitive procurement process, the TAAC and the firm
generally contract with private consultants to implement the Adjustment
Proposal.
There are three main phases to receiving technical assistance under
the program. The phases are (1) petitioning for certification, (2)
recovery planning, and (3) project implementation.
Exhibit 3: Program Phases
[[Page 4618]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN26JA11.013
Phase I--Petitioning for Certification
The first step to receiving assistance is the submission of a
petition to EDA to be certified as a trade impacted firm. This petition
is Form ED-840P ``Petition by a Firm for Certification of Eligibility
to Apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance'' and any supporting
documentation. Certification specialists within the TAACs generally
work with the firm at no cost to complete and submit a petition to EDA.
Upon receipt of the petition, EDA performs a thorough analysis of
the petition and supporting documents to determine if the petition is
complete and may be accepted. EDA is required to make a final
determination on the petition within 40 days of accepting a
petition.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ As of May 17, 2009, the deadline for making a final
determination is 40 days. Before May 17, 2009, EDA had 60 days to
make a determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase II--Recovery Planning
Certified firms then work with TAAC staff to develop a customized
Adjustment Proposal and submit to EDA for approval. Once an Adjustment
Proposal has been submitted, EDA is required to make a final
determination within 60 days.
Phase III--Adjustment Proposal Implementation
The firm works with consultants to implement projects in an
approved Adjustment Proposal. As projects are implemented and if the
firm is satisfied with the work, the firm will first pay their match to
the consultant, and then send a notice to the TAAC stating that they
are satisfied with the work and that they have paid their matching
share. The TAAC will then pay the Federal matching share. Firms have up
to five years from the date of an Adjustment Proposal's approval to
implement it, unless they receive approval for an extension. Generally,
firms complete the implementation of their Adjustment Proposals over a
two-year period.
Results/Findings
Data for This Report
The data used in this report was collected from the TAACs as part
of their reporting requirements, petitions for certification, and the
Adjustment Proposals submitted by the TAACs on behalf of firms. Data
from these sources were recorded into a central database by Eligibility
Reviewers at EDA. Results for average processing times and the number
of approved and denied petitions and Adjustment Proposal were derived
by EDA.
(1) The Number of Firms That Inquired About the Program
In FY 2010, TAACs received 3,446 inquiries about the TAAF Program.

(2) The Number of Petitions Filed Under Section 251
(3) The Number of Petitions Certified and Denied
(4) The Average Time for Processing Petitions
In FY 2010, 305 petitions were filed under Section 251 of the Trade
Act, up an additional 27 petitions, a 10 percent increase compared to
the number of petitions filed in FY 2009. EDA certified 330 petitions,
up an additional 114 petitions, a 53 percent increase compared to the
number of certifications in FY 2009. Petitions are certified on a
rolling basis throughout the year. Petitions certified in FY 2010 may
be the result of those filed or accepted in FY 2009; and petitions
filed or accepted in FY 2010 may not result in certification in FY
2010.
The addition of TAAF staff resources facilitated EDA's ability to
improve processing time for petitions in FY 2010. Although there was a
spike in petitions, EDA successfully met the 40-day processing deadline
to make a final determination for petitions accepted for
[[Page 4619]]
filing as required in the TGAAA. In fact, the average processing time
for petitions has started to decline below the 40-day requirement.

Exhibit 11: Firms Certified for TAAF by Industry: FY 2010
The majority of petitions certified for TAAF were submitted by
firms in the manufacturing industry. Firms in wholesale trade and
technical services rounded out the top three industries. Approximately
7 percent of firms certified in FY 2010 were service sector firms.
Demand from service firms in FY 2011 is likely to increase at the same
rate as FY 2010.

(9) Sales, Employment, and Productivity at Each Firm Participating in
the Program at the Time of Certification
The average sales, employment and productivity of firms certified
into the program in FY 2010 was higher than that of firms certified in
FY 2009. For the purposes of this report, productivity is defined as
net sales per employee. Since the certified firms are in various
industries, which have a variety of ways to measure productivity, sales
per employee was chosen as the productivity measure. This measure is
used because it can be generally applied to all certified firms.
