Fraser Timber Limited, Ashland, ME, 

Notice of Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration 

By application dated April 10, 2008, 

a company official requested 

administrative reconsideration of the 

negative determination regarding 

workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (ATAA) applicable to 

workers and former workers of the 

subject firm. The determination was 

issued on March 14, 2008. The Notice 

of determination was published in the 

Federal Register on March 26, 2008 (73 

FR 16064). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of lumber and 

woodchips did not contribute 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject firm and no shift of production 

to a foreign source occurred. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information regarding aggregate imports 

of lumber and the impact of Canadian 

imports on lumber industry in the 

United States. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record and has 

determined that the Department will 

conduct further investigation to 

determine if the workers meet the 

eligibility requirements of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is 

of sufficient weight to justify 

reconsideration of the U.S. Department 

of Labor’s prior decision. The 

application is, therefore, granted. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of 

April 2008.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance.

Norcal Pottery Products, Macrame 

Department, Richmond Distribution 

Center, Richmond, California; Notice of 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By applications dated April 15, 2008, 

petitioners requested administrative 

reconsideration of the Department of 

Labor’s Notice of Negative 

Determination Regarding Eligibility to 

Apply for Worker Adjustment 

Assistance, applicable to workers and 

former workers of the subject firm. The 

denial notice was signed on March 21, 

2008 and published in the Federal 

Register on April 24, 2008 (73 FR 

22169). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that criteria I.A and II.A have 

not been met. The investigation revealed 

that the subject firm did not separate or 

threaten to separate a significant 

number or proportion of workers as 

required by Section 222 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information regarding employment and 

layoffs at the subject firm. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record and has 

determined that the Department will 

conduct further investigation. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is 

of sufficient weight to justify 

reconsideration of the Department of 

Labor’s prior decision. The application 

is, therefore, granted.

Lanxess Sybron Chemicals, Inc., a 

Subsidiary of Lanxess Corporation, 

Including On-Site Contract Workers 

from Aerotek, Birmingham, NJ; 

Amended Certification Regarding 

Eligibility To Apply for Worker 

Adjustment Assistance and Alternative 

Trade Adjustment Assistance 

In accordance with Section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 

U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the 

Department of Labor issued a 

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance on March 18, 2008, 

applicable to workers of Lanxess Sybron 

Chemicals, Inc., a subsidiary of Lanxess 

Corporation, Birmingham, New Jersey. 

The notice was published in the Federal 

Register on April 24, 2008 (73 FR 

22169). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the certification 

for workers of the subject firm. The 

workers are engaged in the production 

of ion exchange resins for a variety of 

industrial applications. 

New information shows that 

employees of AeroTek were working onsite at the Birmingham, New Jersey 

location of Lanxess Sybron Chemicals, 

Inc., a subsidiary of Lanxess 

Corporation. The Department has 

determined that the AeroTek workers 

were sufficiently under the control of 

the subject firm to be considered 

contract/leased workers. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include temporary 

workers of AeroTek working on-site at 

the Birmingham, New Jersey location of 

the subject firm. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers 

employed at Lanxess Sybron Chemicals, 

Inc., a subsidiary of Lanxess 

Corporation, Birmingham, New Jersey 

who were adversely affected by 

increased imports. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–62,920 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

’’All workers of Lanxess Sybron Chemicals, 

Incorporated, a subsidiary of Lanxess 

Corporation, including on-site contract 

workers from AeroTek, Birmingham, New 

Jersey, who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after 

February 27, 2007, through March 18, 2010,
