Wyoming Wood Products, Inc., West Wyoming, PA; Notice of Negative 
Determination on Remand

    The United States Court of International Trade (USCIT) granted the 
Department of Labor's request for voluntary remand of the negative 
determination on reconsideration in Former Employees of Westside 
Stitching, Inc. and Wyoming Wood

[[Page 71434]]

Products, Inc. v. Secretary of Labor (Court No. 04-00410).
    The Department's denial of Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 
Alternate Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for workers of Wyoming Wood 
Products, Inc., West Wyoming, Pennsylvania was issued on June 16, 2004 
and was published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2004 (69 FR 
40983). Petitioners had filed as an adversely affected secondary group. 
The workers produced wood frames used in the production of motion 
furniture. The investigation revealed that the company to which the 
subject company supplied component parts was not TAA certified.
    A Dismissal of Application for Reconsideration was issued on August 
4, 2004 and was published in the Federal Register on August 11, 2004 
(69 FR 48895). The request was denied because the application contained 
no new substantial information.
    On October 5, 2004, the USCIT granted a consent motion for 
voluntary remand and ordered the Department to conduct a further 
investigation and determine whether the petitioning workers are 
eligible for trade adjustment assistance.
    Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 2272(c)(4), a worker must be employed by a 
company that produces or supplies ``component parts for articles that 
were the basis for a certification of eligibility'' of a group of 
primarily trade-affected workers to be certified as a secondarily 
trade-affected worker, per the Trade Act.
    The subject company supplied wood frames exclusively to Westside 
Stitching, Inc., West Wyoming, Pennsylvania, a company that the 
Department has determined not to be adversely import-impacted (TA-W-
54,635).

Conclusion

    After reconsideration on remand, I affirm the original notice of 
negative determination of eligibility to apply for adjustment 
assistance for workers and former workers of Wyoming Wood Products, 
Inc., West Wyoming, Pennsylvania.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 2nd day of December 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
