49494 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 163 / Thursday, August 21, 2008 / Notices 

In the request for reconsideration the 

petitioner alleged that business at the 

subject firm declined because the 

subject firm’s major customer is 

importing or will be importing like or 

directly competitive products. In 

particular, the petitioner stated that the 

customer is changing its purchases from 

a ceramic based substrate to a plastic 

based substrate. 

On reconsideration the Department of 

Labor surveyed this declining customer 

regarding its purchases of like or 

directly competitive products with 

multi-layer ceramic green sheet during 

2006, 2007, and January through 

February 2008 over the corresponding 

2007 period. The survey revealed that 

the customer did not import like or 

directly competitive products with 

multi-layer ceramic green sheet during 

the relevant period. 

The petitioner also stated that there 

was a shift in production of multi-layer 

ceramic green sheet to Taiwan. 

The fact that the subject firm’s 

customers are shifting their production 

abroad is not relevant to this 

investigation. According to section 

(a)(2)(B) of the Trade Act, in order to be 

eligible for TAA on the basis of a shift 

in production abroad, the shift in 

production must be implemented by the 

subject firm or its subdivision. 

In this case, the subject firm did not 

import multi-layer ceramic green sheet 

nor was there a shift in production from 

subject firm abroad during the relevant 

period. 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration, I affirm the 

original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

worker adjustment assistance for 

workers and former workers of Barnes 

Aerospace, Ceramics Division, Windsor, 

Connecticut.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act of 1972, as established 

under 29 CFR Part 75, authorizes the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

to make or guarantee loans or grants to 

finance industrial and business 

activities in rural areas. The Secretary of 

Labor must review the application for 

financial assistance for the purpose of 

certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture 

that the assistance is not calculated, or 

likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any 

employment or business activity from 

one area to another by the loan 

applicant’s business operation; or (b) an 

increase in the production of goods, 

materials, services, or facilities in an 

area where there is not sufficient 

demand to employ the efficient capacity 

of existing competitive enterprises 

unless the financial assistance will not 

have an adverse impact on existing 

competitive enterprises in the area. The 

Employment and Training 

Administration within the Department 

of Labor is responsible for the review 

and certification process. Comments 

should address the two bases for 

certification and, if possible, provide 

data to assist in the analysis of these 

issues.
