Philip Morris USA, Cabarrus 

Manufacturing Plant, a Subsidiary of 

Altria Group, Inc.; Concord, NC; Notice 

of Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated February 19, 

2009, 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 February 6, 2009. The Notice 

of Determination was published in the 

Federal Register on March 3, 2009 (74 

FR 9283). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of cigarettes did not 

contribute importantly to worker 

separations at the subject firm. The 

investigation revealed that the subject 

firm shifted production of cigarettes to 

foreign countries during the period 

under investigation. However, these 

products were not likely to be imported 

back to the United States. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information regarding a shift in 

production of cigarettes to Colombia, 

Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El 

Salvador, and Mexico. 

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 17th day of 

March 2009.

Teck-Washington, Inc.; Pend Oreille 

Mine; a Subsidiary of Teck-American, 

Inc.; Metaline Falls, WA; Notice of 

Revised Determination on Reopening 

The Department, on its own motion, 

reopened its investigation for workers 

and former workers of TeckWashington, Inc., Pend Oreille Mine, 

Metaline Falls, Washington. The 

workers produce zinc concentrate. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination issued on 

January 26, 2009, based on the finding 

that there were no increased imports of 

zinc concentrate, nor did the subject 

firm shift production of zinc concentrate 

to a foreign country. Since the workers 

were denied eligibility to apply for trade 

adjustment assistance (TAA) they were 

also denied eligibility to apply for 

alternative trade adjustment assistance 

(ATAA) for older workers. The notice 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 8116). 

New information obtained by the 

Department shows that there was a shift 

in production of zinc concentrate from 

the workers’ firm to Mexico. 

Employment at the subject firm has 

declined. 

Based on these findings, it is 

determined in this case that the 

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

have been met. 

In order for the Department to issue 

a certification of eligibility to apply for 

alternative trade adjustment assistance 

ATAA, the group eligibility 

requirements of Section 246 of the 

Trade Act must be met. The Department 

has determined in this case that the 

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 in the industry 

are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful consideration of the new 

facts obtained on reopening, it is 

concluded that there was a shift in 

production by the workers’ firm or 

subdivision to Mexico of articles that 

are like or directly competitive with 

those produced by the subject firm or 

subdivision. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

the Trade Act of 1974, I make the 

following revised determination:
