The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the findings that, during the relevant period, the subject firm did not import articles like or directly competitive with those produced at the subject firm, or shift to/acquire from a foreign country the production of these articles. The Department’s survey of the subject firm’s major declining customers regarding their purchases of cast bronze memorial products (and like or directly competitive articles) in 2007, 2008, 2009, and during January through February 2010 revealed no imports. In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that, during the relevant time period, the subject firm had transferred equipment from the subject facility to Mexico and that the subject worker group was impacted by customer imports. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department requested the subject firm to submit a new Confidential Data Request form, collected new information to address the allegations, and obtained clarification of previously-submitted information. The Department also obtained additional U.S. aggregate import data of articles like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject worker group. Based on a careful review of information obtained during the initial and reconsideration investigations, the Department determines that imports of articles like or directly competitive with the cast bronze memorial products manufactured at the subject firm did not contribute importantly to worker group separations and to subject firm sales/ production declines.

The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower, Inc. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received new information that revealed that there has been an acquisition from a foreign country by the workers’ firm of production of like or directly competitive articles.

Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on 
February 10, 2011 (76 FR 7584). Workers were engaged in the production 
of cast bronze memorial products.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that, during the relevant period, the subject 
firm did not import articles like or directly competitive with those 
produced at the subject firm, or shift to/acquire from a foreign 
country the production of these articles. The Department's survey of 
the subject firm's major declining customers regarding their purchases 
of cast bronze memorial products (and like or directly competitive 
articles) in 2007, 2008, 2009, and during January through February 2010

    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that,

worker group was impacted by customer imports.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department requested 
the subject firm to submit a new Confidential Data Request form, 
collected new information to address the allegations, and obtained

contribute importantly to worker group separations and to subject firm 
sales/production declines. Therefore, the criteria set forth in Section 
222(a) have not been met.

negative determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment 
assistance for workers and former workers of Matthews International 
Corporation, Bronze Division, Kingwood, West Virginia.
