Investigations Regarding Certifications of Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance, 17447-17448 [2011-7267]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2011 / Notices under investigation, there were no increased imports or an acquisition of services from a foreign country by the workers’ firm. The negative determination stated that the worker separations are due to a shift of services to other locations within the United States and the firm did not produce an article or supply a service that was used by a firm with TAA-certified workers in the production of an article or supply of a service that was the basis for TAAcertification. In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that ‘‘Gannett is outsourcing ads in order to reduce the workforce throughout Gannett Newspapers.’’ The request also focused on a Gannettoid newsletter, dated August 20, 2009, that stated ‘‘Outsourcing will increase from 10% to about 30% being outsourced’’ and a newsletter, dated November 23, 2009, that stated ‘‘we have reinstated outsourcing * * * outsourcing will be setting up visits to those sites who have already accomplished some local area consolidations such as * * * Wisconsin.’’ The request also referred to other, previously-submitted articles that mention out-sourcing by the subject firm. 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 petitioning workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. Conclusion 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. Signed at Washington, DC, this 18th day of March, 2011. Del Min Amy Chen, Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.

[FR Doc. 2011–7268 Filed 3–28–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P By application dated February 18, 2011, the petitioners requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of Penske Logistics LLC, a subsidiary of General Electric/Penske Corporation, El Paso, Texas (subject firm). The determination was issued on January 7, 2011. The Department’s Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4729). The subject firm supplies warehousing services which includes storage, processing, and shipping services for the automotive industry. The negative determination was based on the findings that, during the period under investigation, subject firm sales and/or production did not decline during the relevant period and the subject firm did not shift to another country the supply of storage, processing and shipping services (or like or directly competitive services). In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners alleged that ‘‘All departments have been impacted in the outsourcing of our work requirements into Mexico Delphi Plant locations’’ and identified specific functions that have allegedly shifted abroad ‘‘since 2009 (maybe 2008)’’ due to ‘‘X-dock implementation needs into Mexico’’ and specific locations in Mexico to where the services allegedly shifted—‘‘Mochis Sinaloa, Meoqui Chihuahua, Juarez Chih, and * * * Chihuahua Chihuahua who is currently on hold due to plant transitioning into Durango.’’ The Department has carefully reviewed the workers’ request for reconsideration and the existing record, and has determined that the Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the petitioning workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
