Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 125 / Monday, June 30, 2014 / Notices
confirmed that the subject is a Supplier,
as defined by Section 222(c) of the
Trade Act, to a firm that employed a
worker group eligible to apply for TAA
under Section 222(a) of the Act, and that
the supply of services is related to the
production of the article that was the
basis of the primary certification.
Therefore, the Department determines
that Section 222(b)(2) has been met.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that
workers and former workers of the
subject firm, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of
environmental remediation services,
meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. 2272(b). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273,
I make the following certification:
All workers of LATA Environmental
Services of Kentucky, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Los Alamos Technical
Associates, Inc., Kevil, Kentucky, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 20, 2012,
through two years from the date of this
revised certification, 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 in Washington, DC, this 11th day of
June 2014.

Duro Textiles, LLC, Finishing and Print
Plants, A Wholly Owned Subsidary of
Patriarch Partners, LLC, Including OnSite Leased Workers From LT Staffing
and Able Associates, Fall River,
Massachusetts; Notice of Negative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated May 5, 2014, a
company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department of Labor’s negative
determination regarding eligibility to
apply for worker adjustment assistance,
applicable to workers and former
workers of Duro Textiles, LLC,
Finishing & Print Plants, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Patriarch Partners,
LLC, including on-site leased workers
from LT Staffing and Able Associates,
Fall River, Massachusetts (subject firm).
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
The negative determination was signed
on April 8, 2014, and the Department’s
Notice of determination was published
in the Federal Register on April 29,
2014 (79 FR 24018).
Workers of the subject firm are
engaged in activities related to the
production of fabrics.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
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 mis-interpretation of facts or
of the law justified reconsideration of
the decision.
The negative determination of the
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
petition was based on the Department’s
finding of no increased company or
customer imports of like or directly
competitive articles during the relevant
period and no shift of production to a
foreign country by the subject firm.
During the investigation, the
Department conducted a survey of the
subject firm and its major declining
customers of import activity, and had
conducted a survey on a major lost bid
on a contract. In addition, the
Department determined that a
secondary worker certification could not
be issued because the criteria set forth
in Section 222(b) of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended (the Act), was not
met.
The request for reconsideration
asserts that Section 222(a)(1) and
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(1) of the Act have
been met, and, therefore, the workers
are eligible to apply for TAA.

Impact date
December 20, 2012.
The negative determination was not
based on the Department’s finding that
the employment and sales/production
decline criteria was not met; rather, the
subject firm did not shift fabric
production to a foreign country, imports
of articles like or directly competitive
with the fabric produced by the workers
did not increase during the relevant
period, and the subject firm is neither a
Supplier or Producer under Section
222(c) of the Act.
The petitioner did not supply facts
not previously considered; nor 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 careful review of the application
and investigative findings, I conclude
that there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
