United States, Case No. 11–00060. On April 6, 2010, a state workforce official filed a petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on behalf of workers of Marlin Firearms Company, Inc. (‘‘Marlin’’), a subsidiary of Remington Arms Company, North Haven, Connecticut (hereafter referred to as the subject firm). The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from Randstat, Reitman, and Hamilton Connections. (AR 394) The subject worker group was engaged in activities related to the production of lever-action and boltaction sporting rifles. (AR 376) The Department considered the following articles to be like or directly competitive with lever-action and bolt-action VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:29 Sep 21, 2011 Jkt 223001 sporting rifles: ‘‘over and under’’, ‘‘semiauto’’, ‘‘over and under shotgun/rifle combo’’, ‘‘side by side’’, ‘‘semi-auto’’. (AR 805) During the initial investigation, it was revealed that a significant number or proportion of workers at the subject firm were totally or partially separated from employment or were threatened to become totally or partially separated during the relevant period. (AR 14–15) However, during the initial investigation, it was determined that imports of articles like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the subject firm have not increased and that there has not been a shift in production to a foreign country by the workers’ firm, of like or directly competitive articles. (AR 10–84, 1322– 1348) During the initial investigation, the Department also conducted a customer survey; however, the survey revealed that during the relevant period, customers did not increase reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject worker group. (AR 270–283, 1322–1348) The initial investigation also revealed that the subject worker group did not produce component parts or supply a service directly to a firm with a TAAcertified worker group. Further, the initial investigation revealed that the subject firm has not been identified in an affirmative finding of injury by the International Trade Commission. (AR 14–15) A negative determination regarding the subject worker group’s eligibility to apply for TAA was issued on December 17, 2010. The Department’s Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on January 14, 2011 (76 FR 2716). (AR 293–306, 312) Administrative reconsideration of the Departments’ negative determination was not requested. In the Complaint to the USCIT, dated March 15, 2011, the Plaintiff’s Counsel claimed that the Plaintiff’s separation occurred because Marlin experienced import competition due to increasing importation of sporting rifles. The Plaintiff’s Counsel also claimed that the Department should take into account information related to the application of Marlin for the TAA for Firms program. The Plaintiff’s Counsel also claimed that the Department should take into consideration information related to the certification of Marlin’s subsidiary, Harrington & Richardson 1871 (TA–W– 63,361). The USCIT’S order granting voluntary remand, dated June 8, 2011, directed the Department to (1) Conduct additional PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 surveys of the subject firm’s customers; (2) contact Plaintiff to solicit information relevant to his petition and review any submitted material; (3) request from the subject firm names and contact information for other separated workers and solicit from those workers information relevant to Plaintiff’s complaint; (4) request from the subject firm any submissions to the U.S. Department of Commerce in connection with Marlin’s certification under the TAA for Firms program and consider the contents of those submissions; (5) request from the U.S. Department of Commerce any documents related to Marlin’s certification under the TAA for Firms program and consider the contents of those documents; and (6) consider the facts related to the certification of Harrington & Richardson 1871 (TA–W–63,361). During the remand investigation, the Department: (1) Conducted an expanded customer survey; (2) contacted the Plaintiff to solicit information relevant to his petition and reviewed the submitted materials; (3) requested and received from the subject firm names and contact information for other separated workers and solicited from those workers information relevant to the Plaintiff’s complaint; (4) requested and received from Marlin any submissions to the U.S. Department of Commerce in connection to Marlin’s TAA for Firms petition and considered the contents of those documents; (5) requested from the U.S. Department of Commerce any documents related to Marlin’s TAA for Firms petition and considered the contents of those documents; and (6) considered the facts related to the certification of TA–W– 63,361. The Department also conducted industry analysis related to the articles produced by the subject firm, leveraction and bolt-action sporting rifles. (AR 1322–1348) The Department fully reviewed all material received during the remand investigation, and considered the contents of each document and statement as they apply to the TAA for workers program in accordance with the statute, regulations, and other authority. (AR 1322–1348) The group eligibility requirements for workers of a Firm under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a), are satisfied if the following criteria are met: (1) A significant number or proportion of the workers in such workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and (2)(A)(i) The sales or production, or both, of such firm have decreased absolutely; and E:\FR\FM\22SEN1.SGM 22SEN1
