The petition regarding the

CERF Brothers Bag Co., Inc.; Design 

and Product Development Department; 

Earth City, MO; Determination 

Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance 

On March 16, 2007, the Department 

issued an Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application on 

Reconsideration applicable to workers 

and former workers of the subject firm. 

The notice was published in the Federal 

Register on March 22, 2007 (72 FR 

13526–13527). 

The previous investigation initiated 

on January 12, 2007, resulted in a 

negative determination issued on 

February 16, 2007, was based on the 

finding that the worker group was 

engaged in distribution of products 

manufactured abroad and workers did 

not produce an article within the 

meaning of Section 222 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. The denial notice was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 27, 2007 (72 FR 8795). 

To support the request for 

reconsideration, the petitioner supplied 

additional information regarding a 

specific department within the subject 

firm and production performed by 

workers of this department. The 

petitioner stated that workers of Design 

and Product Development Department 

of the subject firm manufactured 

samples for marketing purposes. 

Upon further contact with the subject 

firm’s company official, it was revealed 

that workers employed at the CERF 

Brothers Bag Co., Inc., Design and 

Product Development Department, Earth 

City, Missouri manufactured prototypes 

and samples (carry bags, daypacks, and 

cargo bags) and these workers were 

separately identifiable from other 

workers at the subject firm. 

Having conducted a further 

investigation on reconsideration, it was 

revealed that the subject firm ceased 

production of prototypes and samples 

(carry bags, daypacks, and cargo bags) 

manufactured by the Design and 

Product Development Department, 

while increasing its reliance on 

imported prototypes and samples from 

2005 to 2006. 

In accordance with Section 246 the 

Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 

amended, the Department of Labor 

herein presents the results of its 

investigation regarding certification of 

eligibility to apply for alternative trade 

adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older 

workers. 

The group eligibility criteria for the 

ATAA program that the Department 

must consider under Section 246 of the 

Trade Act are: 

1. Whether a significant number of 

workers in the workers’ firm are 50 

years of age or older. 

2. Whether the workers in the 

workers’ firm possess skills that are not 

easily transferable. 

3. The competitive conditions within 

the workers’ industry (i.e., conditions 

within the industry are adverse). 

The ATAA investigation revealed that 

a significant number of workers in the 

workers’ at CERF Brothers Bag Co, Inc., 

Design and Development Department, 

Earth City, Missouri are not 50 years of 

age or older during the relevant time 

period and thus criterion (1) has not 

been met. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the facts 

obtained in the investigation, I 

determine that increases of imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

prototypes and samples (carry bags, 

daypacks, and cargo bags), produced by 

CERF Brothers Bag Co., Inc., Design and 

Product Development Department, Earth 

City, Missouri, contributed importantly 

to the total or partial separation of 

workers and to the decline in sales or 

production at that firm or subdivision. 

In accordance with the provisions of the 

Act, I make the following certification: 

Workers of CERF Brothers Bag Co., Inc., 

Design and Product Development 

Department, Earth City, Missouri, engaged in 

employment related to the production of 

prototypes and samples of carry bags, 

daypacks, and cargo bags, who became 

totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after January 10, 2006, 

through two years from the date of 

certification are eligible to apply for 

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 

the Trade Act of 1974. 

I also determine that workers of CERF 

Brothers Bag Co., Inc., Earth City, 

Missouri, excluding the Design and 

Product Development Department, are 

denied eligibility to apply for 

adjustment assistance under Section 223 

of the Trade Act of 1974. 

I further determine that workers of 

CERF Brothers Bag Co., Inc., Earth City, 

Missouri are denied eligibility to apply 

for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the 

Trade Act of 1974.
