[TA-W-71,108]

 
Air Way Automation, Inc., Grayling, MI; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated August 20, 2009, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on August 3, 2009. The Notice of Determination 
was published in the Federal Register on September 22, 2009 (74 FR 
48304).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of parts feeding and assembly 
equipment did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the 
subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding customers of the subject firm and 
increasing foreign competition in the bidding process.
    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 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.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of October 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
