Exal Corporation, Including On-Site
Leased Workers from Alliance
Industrial Solutions and Ryan
Alternative Staffing, Youngstown,
Ohio; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated June 22, 2016,
the state workforce office requested
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance applicable to
workers and former workers of Exal
Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Alliance Industrial
Solutions and Ryan Alternative Staffing,
Youngstown, Ohio. The determination
was issued on May 26, 2016 and the
Notice of Determination was published
in the Federal Register on June 28, 2016
(81 FR 42000).
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 initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
findings that there was no increase in
imports by the workers’ firm or its
customers, nor was there a foreign shift
or acquisition by the workers’ firm or its
customers. In addition, neither the
workers’ firm nor its customers reported
imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles for which the
article produced by the workers’ firm
were directly incorporated.
The request for reconsideration
asserts that the subject firm and
customer continues to import from a
foreign location like or directly
competitive articles while decreasing
articles produced within the United
States. The request for reconsideration
included new facts.
The Department of Labor 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.
