Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2011 / Notices
May 4, 2009 e-mail obtained during the
investigation of WEATHER SHIELD I
that contained subject firm sales figures
for calendar year 2008. AAR 143. By
comparing the sales data from
WEATHER SHIELD I with the sales data
from WEATHER SHIELD II, the
Department was able to ascertain that
subject firm sales declined during 2009
from 2008 levels.
Based on information obtained from
the afore-mentioned WEATHER SHIELD
I material (IR [AAR 145], NPQ [AAR 22,
122], CDRs [AAR 127–142], and the May
4, 2009 e-mail [AAR 143]), the
Department determined that Section
222(a)(2)(A)(i) had been met and
continued its investigation to determine
whether Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) was
met.
The Department determined that, for
the relevant period of WEATHER
SHIELD II, unlike the earlier relevant
period for the WEATHER SHIELD I
investigation, the requirements of
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) were not met,
based on its review of material from the
WEATHER SHIELD I investigation, as
follows.
The Department considered the
complete customer list obtained during
WEATHER SHIELD I (AAR 209) and the
results of the customer surveys
conducted during the remand
investigation of WEATHER SHIELD I.
AAR 149–208.
The Department used the customer
list provided during the WEATHER
SHIELD I remand investigation (AAR
209) to conduct the customer survey in
WEATHER SHIELD II. AAR 29–48. The
Department surveyed only those
customers with sales data for the year
2009, the relevant time period for the
WEATHER SHIELD II investigation.
AAR 29–48, 62–63. The WEATHER
SHIELD II customers surveyed consisted
of 16% of subject firm sales in 2008 and
13% of subject firm sales in 2009. AAR
53–56, 62–63.
The WEATHER SHIELD II
investigation customer survey responses
were combined with the responses of
the same customers received during the
WEATHER SHIELD I remand
investigation for year 2008 to conduct a
comparative analysis. AAR 53–56, 61–
63. As noted above, the Department had
conducted an expansive sample
customer survey in WEATHER SHIELD
I approximately three months before
administering the customer survey for
WEATHER SHIELD II. The analysis of
overall subject firm sales, purchases
made by the surveyed customers, and
direct and indirect imports, did not
reveal increased imports, per 29 CFR
90.2, by the surveyed customers. AAR
53–56, 61–63.

Further, as noted in the initial
WEATHER SHIELD II determination,
U.S. aggregate imports of metal/wood
doors and windows (and like or directly
competitive articles) declined from 2008
to 2009. AAR 57–58. As noted above,
most of the customers on the customer
list that was submitted in WEATHER
SHIELD I (AAR 209) constituted a very
small portion of the subject firm’s sales;
therefore, the results of an analysis of
aggregate data of like or directly
competitive articles is relevant because
it is representative of the import activity
of the subject firm’s customer base
during the relevant period of WEATHER
SHIELD II.
The Department’s determination is
not inconsistent with the four
affirmative TAA decisions attached to
Plaintiffs’ Motion to Supplement the
Administrative Record before the USCIT
in Court No. 10–00299. Workers of
Springs Window Fashions, LLC (TA–
W–73,575) and Simpson Door Company
(TA–W–65,585) were certified as
eligible to apply for TAA based in part
on the investigative findings that
Criterion 2 was met because their
respective companies shifted
production of window coverings and
components, and solid wood stile and
rail doors to Mexico and Canada,
respectively, during the relevant periods
of those investigations. Workers of JeldWen Premium Doors (TA–W–71,644)
and Woodgrain Millworks, Inc. (TA–W–
65,461), were certified as eligible to
apply for TAA based in part on the
investigative findings that Criterion 2
was met because of increased imports or
increased reliance on imported articles
like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by those companies.
Those certifications involved different
relevant periods.
Because increased imports is defined
by 29 CFR 90.2, and the date of the
petition determines the relevant period
and the representative base period, facts
that were the basis for certifications
involving earlier-filed petitions cannot
be the basis for a certification in
WEATHER SHIELD II, just as the
certification in WEATHER SHIELD I
cannot be the basis for a certification in
WEATHER SHIELD II.
Additionally, with respect to Section
222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(c), the
investigation revealed that the workers
could not be certified as adversely
affected secondary workers because the
subject 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 TAA
certification.

Finally, the group eligibility
requirements under Section 222(f) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(f), have not been
met because the subject firm has not
been identified by name in an
affirmative finding of injury by the
International Trade Commission.
Based on the afore-mentioned
findings, the Department determined
that the subject worker group was not
eligible to apply for TAA.
Conclusion
After careful review of material
consisting of the complete
administrative record, I determine that
workers of Weather Shield
Manufacturing, Inc., Corporate Office,
Medford, Wisconsin, who supply
corporate office support services for
metal/wood windows and doors, are
denied eligibility to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273.
