Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 7 / Thursday, January 10, 2013 / Notices
At the request of New York State
Department of Labor, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of
the subject firm. New information
shows that a worker leased from Wurth
Revcar Fasteners, Inc. was also
employed on-site at Daimler Buses
North America, Inc., Oriskany, New
York. The Department has determined
that this worker was sufficiently under
the control of Daimler Buses North
America, Inc. to be considered a leased
worker.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by increased customer imports
of transit buses.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include the worker
leased from Wurth Revcar Fasteners,
Inc. working on-site at the Oriskany,
New York location of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–81,718 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Daimler Buses North
America, Inc., a subsidiary of Daimler North
America Corp., including on-site leased
workers from Noramtec, First Choice
Staffing, Staff Works, and Mr. Santo LaMarco
from Wurth Revcar Fasteners, Inc., Oriskany,
New York, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June
8, 2011, through September 28, 2014, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on date
of certification through two years from the
date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of
December 2012.

Assistance.

wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with
Komax Solar, Inc., a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of Komax Holdings AG,
York, PA; Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By applications received on
November 12, 2012 and November 26,
2012, two workers independently
requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers Komax Solar, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Komax
Holdings, AG, York, Pennsylvania
(subject firm or Komax). The negative
determination was issued on November
1, 2012. The Department’s Notice of
Determination was published in the
Federal Register on November 26, 2012
(77 FR 70480).
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c),
administrative reconsideration may be
granted under the following
circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts
not previously considered that the
determination complained of was
erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake
in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The workers of Komax were engaged
in activities related to the production of
solar panel production machines. The
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:22 Jan 09, 2013
Jkt 229001
products manufactured at the subject
firm are predominantly for export sale.
The petition stated that the workers
were informed by the subject firm that
the layoffs were a result of production
shifting to a Komax facility in Asia. In
the request for reconsideration, the
workers again asserted that separations
at Komax are attributable to a future
shift of solar panel production to Asia.
Machines used to produce solar
panels are not component parts of solar
panels and are neither like nor directly
competitive with solar panels.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject firm did not shift to a foreign
country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with the solar
panel production machines produced by
the workers, or acquire the production
of such articles from a foreign country;
that the workers’ separation, or threat of
separation, was not related to any
increase in imports by the subject firm
of articles like or directly competitive
with solar panel production machines;
and that the workers’ firm is not a
supplier or a downstream producer to a
firm that employed a group of workers
who received a TAA certification.
The Department did not conduct a
survey on the subject firm’s declining
domestic customers of solar panel
production machines because sales to
domestic customers increased during
the relevant time period. Further, the
articles manufactured at the subject firm
during the relevant time period were
almost entirely export sales.
One of the requests for
reconsideration alleges ‘‘flooding of the
market by underpriced Chinese solar
modules.’’ The Department notes that
the International Trade Commission did
not name Komax as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation
resulting in an affirmative finding of
serious injury, market disruption, or
material injury, or threat thereof.
The workers in the requests for
reconsideration did not supply facts not
previously considered or provide
additional documentation indicating
that there was either 1) a mistake in the
determination of facts not previously
considered or 2) a misinterpretation of
facts or of the law justifying
reconsideration of the initial
determination. Based on these findings,
the Department determines that 29 CFR
90.18(c) has not been met.
Conclusion
After review of the applications and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
PO 00000

facts which would justify

application is denied.

petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued

would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.
