DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

[TA–W–63,235] 

Southprint, Inc., Reidsville Division, 

Reidsville, NC; Notice of Negative 

Determination on Reconsideration 

On July 31, 2008, the Department 

issued an Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration for the workers and 

former workers of the subject firm. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on August 7, 2008 (73 FR 

46037). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of screen-printing 

for apparel 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 alleged that business at the 

subject firm declined because the 

subject firm’s customers shifted screenprinting for apparel to foreign facilities. 

The petitioner provided an additional 

list of customers and alleged that these 

customers are importing screen-printing 

for apparel. 

On reconsideration the Department of 

Labor surveyed these declining 

customers regarding their purchases of 

products like or directly competitive 

with screen-printing for apparel during 

2006, 2007 and January through March, 

2008 over the corresponding 2007 

period. The survey revealed that the 

customers did not import products like 

or directly competitive with screenprinting for apparel during the relevant 

period. 

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 screen-printing for apparel 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 

Southprint, Inc., Reidsville Division, 

Reidsville, North Carolina.
