applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on March 4,
2009. The Notice of Determination was
published in the Federal Register on
March 19, 2009 (74 FR 11760).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of filtration media
did not contribute importantly to
worker separations at the subject firm.
The investigation also revealed that the
subject firm did not shift production of
filtration media to a foreign country
during the relevant period.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that the workers of the
subject firm also produced non-filtration
products. The petitioner also alleged
that the subject firm shifted production
of non-filtration products abroad and
also increased imports of non-filtration
products during the relevant period.
The Department 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 12th day of
May 2009.

workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on April 6,
2009. The Notice of Determination will
be soon published in the Federal
Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of two-piece
automotive wheels did not contribute
importantly to worker separations at the
subject firm. The investigation revealed
that the subject firm did not shift
production of two-piece automotive
wheels to a foreign country during the
relevant period.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that the workers of the
subject also supported production of
one piece and cast wheels. The
petitioner also alleged that the subject
firm shifted production to China and
that there was an increase in imports of
one piece and cast wheels from China.
The Department 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
An important aspect of the mission of
the BLS is to disseminate to the public
the maximum amount of information
possible. Not all data are publicly
available because of the importance of
maintaining the confidentiality of BLS
data. However, the BLS has
opportunities available on a limited
basis for eligible researchers to access
confidential data for purposes of
conducting valid statistical analyses that
further the mission of the BLS as
permitted in the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA).
The BLS makes confidential data
available to eligible researchers through
three major programs:
1. The Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries (CFOI), as part of the BLS
occupational safety and health statistics
program, compiles a count of all fatal
work injuries occurring in the U.S. in
each calendar year. Multiple sources are
used in order to provide as complete
and accurate information concerning
workplace fatalities as possible. A
research file containing CFOI data is
made available offsite to eligible
researchers.
2. The National Longitudinal Surveys
of Youth (NLSY) is designed to
document the transition from school to
work and into adulthood. The NLSY
