DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

[TA–W–63,516] 

Morlite/Vista Lighting, Genlyte Group, 

Erie, PA; Notice of Negative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated August 19, 2008, 

a worker requested administrative 

reconsideration of the Department’s 

negative determination regarding 

eligibility for workers and former 

workers of Morlite/Vista Lighting, 

Genlyte Group, Erie, Pennsylvania to 

apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

(TAA) and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). 

The negative determination was 

issued on July 15, 2008. The 

Department’s Notice of negative 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on July 30, 2008 (73 FR 

44284). The workers at Morlite/Vista 

Lighting, Genlyte Group, Erie, 

Pennsylvania (subject facility) produce 

commercial light fixtures for the 

security and healthcare industries, and 

are not separately identifiable by 

product line. 

The petition was denied because sales 

and production at the subject facility 

increased in 2007 when compared with 

2006 and increased from January 

through May 2008 when compared with 

the corresponding period in 2007. The 

initial investigation also revealed that 

Morlite/Vista Lighting (subject firm) did 

not shift production of commercial light 

fixtures from the subject facility to a 

foreign country during the relevant 

period. 

Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), 

administrative reconsideration may be 

granted under the following 

circumstances: 

(1) If it appears on the basis of facts 

not previously considered that the 

determination complained of was 

erroneous; 

(2) If it appears that the determination 

complained of was based on a mistake 

in the determination of facts not 

previously considered; or 

(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying 

Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or 

of the law justified reconsideration of 

the decision. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

worker asserts that the shift of 

production from Tupelo, Mississippi to 

China enabled the subject firm to shift 

production from Erie, Pennsylvania to 

Tupelo, Mississippi, and thereby caused 

the workers’ separations. 

To certify a worker group for TAA on 

a shift of production basis, the 

Department must find that there has 

been a shift in production by the 

workers’ firm or appropriate subdivision 

to a foreign country of articles like or 

directly competitive with articles which 

are produced by the workers’ firm or 

subdivision. 

A shift of production of flange kits 

from the subject firm’s Tupelo, 

Mississippi facility to a foreign country 

is not the same as a shift of production 

of commercial light fixtures from the 

subject firm’s Erie, Pennsylvania facility 

to a foreign country. Flange kits are 

neither like nor directly competitive 

with the commercial light fixtures 

produced at the subject facility. 

After careful review of the request for 

reconsideration, the Department 

determines that there is no new 

information that supports a finding that 

Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974 

was satisfied and that no mistake or 

misinterpretation of the facts or of the 

law with regards to the number or 

proportion of workers separated from 

the subject firm during the relevant 

period. 

Conclusion 

After review of the application and 

investigative findings, I conclude that 

there has been no error or 

misinterpretation of the law or of the 

facts which would justify 

reconsideration of the Department of 

Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the 

application is denied.

Union Carbide Corporation, a 

Subsidiary of the Dow Chemical 

Company, West Virginia Operations, 

South Carleston Technology Park, 

South Charleston, WV; Notice of 

Revised Determination on 

Reconsideration of Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance 

On August 21, 2008, the Department 

of Labor (Department) received a request 

for administrative reconsideration of the 

Department’s negative determination 

regarding eligibility to apply for 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (ATAA) applicable to 

workers and former workers of the 

subject firm. 

On July 18, 2008, the Department 

issued a certification regarding the 

subject workers’ eligibility to apply for 

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 

a negative determination regarding their 

eligibility to apply for ATAA. The 

Department’s Notice of determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on July 30, 2008 (73 FR 44283). The 

ATAA investigation determined that, 

although the workers possess skills that 

are not easily transferrable and a 

significant number of workers in the 

workers’ firm are 50 years of age or 

older, conditions within the chemical 

industry are not adverse. 

A Notice of Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration, applicable to workers 

and former workers of the subject firm, 

was issued on August 26, 2008, and will 

soon be published in the Federal 

Register. 

During the reconsideration 

investigation, the Department received 

new information which indicated that 

employment related to the chemical 

industry in the state of West Virginia 

and in the county in which the subject 

firm resides has declined in the relevant 

time period and that the employment in 

the chemical industry is projected to 

decrease in the local (state and county) 

economies. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the additional 

facts obtained on reconsideration, I 

conclude that the requirements of 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 

amended, have been met for workers at 

the subject firm. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

the Act, I make the following revised 

determination: 

All workers of Union Carbide Corporation, 

a Subsidiary of Dow Chemical Company, 

West Virginia Operations, South Charleston 

Technology Park, South Charleston, West 

Virginia, who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after May 

5, 2007 through July 18, 2010, are eligible to 

apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974.
