The Garden Grow Co., Lilly Miller

Packet Seed Division, Wilsonville, OR;

Notice of Negative Determination

Regarding Application for

Reconsideration

By application dated November 2,

2000, the petitioner requested

administrative reconsideration of the

Department’s negative determination

regarding worker eligibility to apply for

NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment

Assistance. The denial notice was

signed on October 6, 2000 and

published in the Federal Register on

November 1, 2000 (65 FR 65331).

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 misinterpretation of facts or of

the law justified reconsideration of the

decision.

The petitioner requested that the

Department reassess the findings that

The Garden Company has not shifted

production to Canada, nor has the

Division of Lilly Miller. No new

information concerning the decision

was provided by the petitioner for

reconsideration.

The Department’s denial of NAFTATAA was based on the findings that

creiteria (3) and (4) of the group

eligibility requirements of paragraph

(a)(1) of section 250 of the Trade Act of

1974, as amended, were not met.

Findings of the investigation showed

that workers of The Garden Grow

Company, Lilly Miller Packet Seed

Division, Wilsonville, Oregon packaged

seed in paper envelopes. The

Department’s denial of NAFTA-TAA for

workers of the subject firm was based on

the finding that there was no shift of

production from the Wilsonville,

Oregon production facility to Mexico or

Canada. Sales and production were

relatively flat. The workers were

separated because the subject division

was sold to a competitor who is shifting

the work to another domestic location.

Although, the company has shifted

some production (plastic seed bottle

production) to Canada, no shifts in

production have occurred during the

relevant period.

Conclusion

After 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.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of

November 2000.
