<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 11, 2009 / Notices
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on February
4, 2009 and will soon be published in
the Federal Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that the worker group engaged
in IT sales, consulting and support
services, does not produce an article
within the meaning of Section 222(a)(2)
of the Act.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information regarding activities of the
workers at the subject facility. The
petitioners stated that workers of the
subject firm produced software which
was sold to customers.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and determined that the Department
will conduct further investigation to
determine whether the workers of the
subject firm were engaged in production
of articles and whether they 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 2nd day of
March 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

Nikko America, Plano, TX; Notice of
Negative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated January 22,
2009, a petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the
Department’s negative determination
regarding eligibility for workers and
former workers of the subject firm to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). The
denial notice was signed on January 6,
2009 and published in the Federal
Register on February 2, 2009 (74 FR
5871).
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 TAA petition filed on behalf of
workers at Nikko America, Plano, Texas
was based on the finding that the
worker group does not produce an
article within the meaning of Section
222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
The petitioner in the request for
reconsideration contends that the
Department erred in its interpretation of
the work performed by the workers of
the subject firm. The petitioner stated
that workers of the subject firm ‘‘were
responsible for final assembly of some
products’’, including ‘‘putting batteries
in the boxes where the toys were
already located and placing decal
stickers on the toys, taping them back
up and distributing these products’’.
The petitioner further stated that Nikko
decreased production of toys in 2008
and decided to import products directly
to consumers bypassing the distribution
center.
The investigation revealed that
workers of Nikko America, Plano, Texas
were engaged in warehousing, sales,
distribution and service of radio
controlled toys during the relevant
period. No articles were produced by
Nikko America in the United States. The
subject firm imported all the products
