4468 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 15 / Monday, January 26, 2009 / Notices 

The previous investigation initiated 

on September 3, 2008, resulted in a 

negative determination issued on 

November 7, 2008, was based on the 

finding that imports of metal stamping 

parts did not contribute importantly to 

worker separations at the subject firm 

and no shift in production to a foreign 

source occurred. The denial notice was 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 25, 2008 (73 FR 71696). 

On reconsideration, the Department 

requested an additional list of customers 

of the subject firm and conducted a 

customer survey to determine whether 

imports of metal stamping parts 

negatively impacted employment at the 

subject firm. 

The survey of the major declining 

customers revealed that the customers 

increased imports of metal stamping 

parts while decreasing purchases from 

the subject firm during January through 

August 2008 over the corresponding 

2007 period. 

In accordance with Section 246 the 

Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 

amended, the Department of Labor 

herein presents the results of its 

investigation regarding certification of 

eligibility to apply for alternative trade 

adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older 

workers. 

In order for the Department to issue 

a certification of eligibility to apply for 

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 within the 

industry are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the additional 

facts obtained on reconsideration, I 

conclude that increased imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

those produced at Stauble Machine and 

Tool Co., Inc., Louisville, Kentucky, 

contributed importantly to the declines 

in sales or production and to the total 

or partial separation of workers at the 

subject firm. In accordance with the 

provisions of the Act, I make the 

following certification: 

All workers of Stauble Machine and Tool 

Co., Inc., Louisville, Kentucky, who became 

totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after September 2, 2007, 

through two years from the date of this 

certification, are eligible to apply for 

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.

January 2009.
