Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Notices 10299 

produced by the firm or a shift in 

production of the article, based on the 

investigation of the TAA/ATAA 

petition. 

After careful review on remand, the 

Department determines that a 

significant number or proportion of the 

workers in the appropriate subdivision 

of the subject firm was separated. 

Further, the Department determines that 

these workers performed activities 

related to the firm’s production of an 

article, that the firm shifted production 

of that article to a foreign country (and 

there were increased imports of like or 

directly competitive articles produced 

by the firm), and this shift in production 

was a factor in Plaintiffs’ separations. 

Based on the above, the Department 

determines that the group eligibility 

requirements under Section 222(a)(2)(B) 

of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, 

has been met. 

In accordance with Section 246 of the 

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

amended, the Department herein 

presents the results of its investigation 

regarding certification of eligibility to 

apply for ATAA. The Department has 

determined in this case that the group 

eligibility requirements of Section 246 

have been met. 

A significant number of workers at the 

firm are age 50 or over and possess 

skills that are not easily transferable. 

Competitive conditions within the 

industry are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the facts 

during the remand investigation, I 

determine that there was a shift of 

production from the workers’ firm or 

subdivision to Brazil of articles that are 

like or directly competitive with those 

produced by the subject firm or 

subdivision, and there has been or is 

likely to be an increase in imports of 

like or directly competitive articles. In 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Act, I make the following certification: 

All workers of Springs Global U.S. Inc., 

Springs Global Direct Division, SpringmaidWamsutta Factory Store, Lancaster, South 

Carolina, who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after May 

19, 2007, through two years from the 

issuance of this revised determination, are 

eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance under Section 223 of the Trade 

Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for 

alternative trade adjustment assistance under 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974. 

Signed at Washington, DC this 23rd day of 

February 2009.
