any affiliated firm controlled or 

substantially beneficially owned by 

substantially the same persons, may be 

considered a single firm.’’ 29 CFR 90.2 

(definition of ‘‘firm’’) 

During the remand investigation, the 

Department obtained additional 

information that establishes that 

although Brawer Bros, Inc. and the 

subject firm are separate entities, they 

are controlled by the same owners. 

Further, because the function performed 

by Warp Processing Company, Inc. 

supports the production of knit fabric at 

Brawer Bros, Inc., the subject workers 

are engaged in activity related to the 

production of knit fabric. Therefore, the 

Department determines that, in the case 

at hand, the subject firm is ‘‘Warp 

Processing Company, Inc. and Brawer 

Bros, Inc.,’’ Warp Processing Company, 

Inc. is an affiliate of the firm, and the 

article at issue is knit fabric. 

A careful review of the administrative 

record reveals that a significant number 

or proportion of workers at Warp 

Processing Company, Inc. has been 

separated or threatened with separation. 

Therefore, the Department determines 

that the first criterion of Section 

222(a)(2)(A) has been met. 

A careful review of the administrative 

record reveals that sales and production 

at Warp Processing Company, Inc. have 

absolutely declined. Therefore, the 

Department determines that the second 

criterion of Section 222(a)(2)(A) has 

been met. 

During the remand investigation, the 

Department conducted a survey of the 

subject firm’s major declining 

customers. The survey revealed 

increased imports during the relevant 

period of articles like or directly 

competitive with those produced by the 

subject firm which contributed 

importantly to worker separations at 

Warp Processing Company, Inc. and to 

the subject firm’s sales/production 

declines. Therefore, the Department 

determines that the third criterion of 

Section 222(a)(2)(A) has been met. 

Based on the above information, the 

Department determines that the 

petitioning workers are eligible to apply 

for TAA and, therefore, it is moot 

whether or not the workers are eligible 

to apply for TAA as adversely affected 

secondary workers. 

In accordance with Section 246 of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as 

amended, the Department herein 

presents the results of its investigation 

regarding certification of eligibility to 

apply for ATAA. The Department has 

determined in this case that the group 

eligibility requirements of Section 246 

have been met. 

A significant number of workers at 

Warp Processing Company, Inc. are age 

50 or over and possess skills that are not 

easily transferable. Competitive 

conditions within the knit fabric 

industry are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the facts 

developed in the remand investigation, 

I determine that there was a separation 

of a significant number or proportion of 

workers at the subject firm or 

appropriate subdivision, that there were 

subject firm sales and production 

declines, and that increased imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

knit fabric produced by the subject firm 

contributed importantly to the subject 

firm’s declines and the workers’ 

separations. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

the Act, I make the following 

certification: 

‘‘All workers of Warp Processing Company, 

Inc., Exeter, Pennsylvania, who became 

totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after January 9, 2007, 

through two years from this revised 

determination, are eligible to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance under Section 223 of 

the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to 

apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974.’’

May 2009.

[TA–W–64,647] 

Trane US, Inc., Residential Systems 

Division, Tyler, TX; Notice of 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated March 20, 2009, 

the International Union of Electronics, 

Electrical, Salaried Machine and 

Furniture Workers (IUE), AFL–CIO, 

Local 86782 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 

13, 2009. The Notice of Determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on March 3, 2009 (74 FR 9279). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of air conditioning 

units did not contribute importantly to 

worker separations at the subject firm. 

The investigation revealed that the 

subject firm did not shift production of 

air conditioning units to foreign 

countries during the period under 

investigation. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner alleged that the workers of the 

subject firm manufactured components 

for air conditioners and that the subject 

firm shifted production of these 

components to Mexico during the 

relevant period. The petitioner also 

alleged that the subject firm has shifted 

production to China and that there was 

an increase in imports of air 

conditioning units from China. 

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.
