Background: The Individual Training Account (ITA) experiment is designed to test different approaches to managing customer choice in the administration of Individual Training Accounts (ITAs). Established under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, ITAs are intended to empower U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) customers to choose the training services they need. WIA allows state and local offices a great deal of flexibility in deciding how much guidance and financial support they will provide to ITA recipients. The ITA experiment tests three approaches that differ widely in both the resources made available to customers and the involvement of local counselors to guide customer choice. The three ITA approaches range from a highly structured model to a pure voucher model: • In Approach 1, local counselors steer their customers to training that is expected to yield a high return (in the form of increased earnings) relative to the resources invested in training. Moreover, counselors can approve or disapprove customers’ program selections and set the value of the ITA to fund approved selections. • In Approach 2, customers receive a fixed ITA award. Local counselors then help customers select training that seems appropriate and feasible, given customers’ skills and their fixed ITA awards and other financial resources they have available to pay for training. • In Approach 3, customers are offered a fixed ITA award, but they are allowed to choose any state-approved training option and to formulate their program selections independently if they so desire.

The York Group Metal Casket Assembly; Matthews Casket Division; A 
Subsidiary of Matthews International; Marshfield, MO; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter dated June 18, 2006, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of 
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers of the subject firm. The 
denial notice was signed on May 17, 2006, and published in the Federal 
Register on June 9, 2006 (71 FR 33488).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that the subject firm did not separate or threaten 
to separate a significant number or proportion of workers as required 
by section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974. Significant number or 
proportion of the workers in a firm or appropriate subdivision thereof, 
means that at least three workers with a workforce of fewer than 50 
workers or five percent of the workers with a workforce of 50 or more.
    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 12th of July 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
