Negative Determinations for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In the following cases, the investigation revealed that the
eligibility criteria for worker adjustment assistance have not been met
for the reasons specified.
The investigation revealed that the criteria under paragraphs
(a)(2)(A) (increased imports) and (a)(2)(B) (shift in production or
services to a foreign country) of section 222 have not been met.

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance

After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioner has requested that the petition be withdrawn.

[[Page 2903]]

83,248............... Castle China, LLC.................. New Castle, PA......
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not filed in accordance with the
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every petition filed by workers must be
signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group.
Petitioners separated more than one year prior to the date of the
petition cannot be covered under a certification of a petition under
Section 223(b), and therefore, may not be part of a petitioning worker
group. For one or more of these reasons, these petitions were deemed
invalid.

The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.

I hereby certify that the aforementioned determinations were issued
during the period of December 16, 2013 through December 27, 2013. These
determinations are available on the Department's Web site tradeact/taa/
taa--search--form.cfm under the searchable listing of determinations or
by calling the Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance toll free at 888-
365-6822.
