[TA–W–64,020] 

American Multimedia, Inc., Burlington, 

NC; Notice of Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated January 6, 2008, 

the petitioner 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 December 

17, 2008. The Notice of Determination 

will soon be published in the Federal 

Register. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of replicated CD’s, 

VHS, DVD’s, and cassette tapes 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 the customers of 

the subject firm and alleged that the 

customers might have increased imports 

of CD’s, VHS, DVD’s, and cassette tapes. 

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 9th day of 

January 2009.

[TA–W–63,981] 

Prime Tanning Company, 

Incorporated, Berwick, ME; Notice of 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated December 19, 

2008, the Department of Labor 

(Department) received a request for 

administrative reconsideration of the 

Department’s Notice of 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 November 

25, 2008. The Department’s Notice of 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on December 10, 2008 

(73 FR 75138). Workers at the subject 

firm produce whole- and half-side 

leather sides, and are not separately 

identifiable by product line. 

The negative determination was based 

on the Department’s findings that the 

subject firm did not shift production to 

a foreign country and that neither the 

subject firm nor its major declining 

customers increased imports of articles 

like or directly competitive with those 

produced by the subject firm. 

In the request for reconsideration, a 

company official alleged that ‘‘many 

shoe manufacturers, including those in 

our backyard, transferred their 

purchasing of tanned leather to those 

facilities in Asia’’ and that ‘‘the leather 

industry in the United States has all but 

disappeared.’’ 

A careful review of previouslysubmitted material shows that, during 

the relevant period, the subject firm may 

have supplied component parts for 

articles produced by a firm with a 

currently TAA certified worker group. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for 

reconsideration, 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 2nd day of 

January 2009.
