BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance applicable to
workers and former workers of
SunEdison, Inc., STP Manufacturing
Plant, St. Peters, Missouri (subject firm).
The determination was issued on May 6,
2014 and the Notice of determination
has not yet been published in the
Federal Register.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
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 misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The negative determination was based
on the Department of Labor’s findings
that the subject firm did not shift
production of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced by the
workers to a foreign country during the
relevant time period; the subject firm
did not increase imports of such articles
during the relevant time period; and the
subject firm is not a Supplier or
Downstream Producer to a firm that
employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility
under Section 222(a) of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended (the Act).
The request for reconsideration
includes information not previously
considered regarding the subject firm’s
operations and customers.
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 Act.
Conclusion
[TA–W–85,066]
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.
