Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter dated July 25, 2007, a worker requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department's Notice of Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
negative determination was issued on June 29, 2007. The Department's 
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on July 
19, 2007 (72 FR 39644). The negative determination was based on the 
Department's findings that, during the relevant period, workers at the 
subject facility performed warehousing activities related to the 
production of chainsaw chains, bars, and sprockets, and that the 
production that the workers support had shifted to a country that is 
neither a party to a free trade agreement with the United States nor a 
beneficiary under either the African Growth and Opportunity Act or the 
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act. The negative determination was 
also based on the Department's findings that following the shift of 
production abroad, there were no imports and that it is not likely that 
these articles will be imported.
    In the request for reconsideration, the worker alleged that the 
subject workers did not only support production, but were also engaged 
in production, and that production shifted to Canada. In support of the 
allegation, the worker provided a job description that reflected that 
the workers were engaged in assembly, inspection, and packaging 
activities.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the workers' request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation.

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 31st day of August 2007.
