By application postmarked April 16, 2007, a company official requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on March 29, 2007 and published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2007 (72 FR 17938).
The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the finding that workers of the subject firm do not produce an article or support production of an article within the meaning of Section 222 of the Act.
The Department reviewed the request for reconsideration and has determined that the petitioner has provided additional information. Therefore, 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 Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th of May, 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
