The denial notice was signed on April 14, 2009 and published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2009 (74 FR 19996). 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 initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the finding that imports of class 8 heavy duty trucks did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject facility and there was no shift of production to a foreign country. The subject firm did not import class 8 heavy duty trucks during the relevant period. The ‘‘contributed importantly’’ test is generally demonstrated through a survey of the workers’ firm’s declining domestic customers. In this case the survey was not conducted because the customers purchased all Class 8 heavy duty trucks exclusively from the subject firm. The petitioner alleged that subject firm’s competitors import heavy trucks and parts of heavy trucks, thus having an advantage over the subject firm in locating potential customers. The impact of competitors on the domestic firms is revealed in an investigation through customer surveys and aggregate import analysis. In the case at hand, the Department solicited information from the customers of the subject firm to determine if customers purchased imported Class 8 heavy duty trucks. The information was intended to determine if competitor imports contributed importantly to layoffs at the subject firm. The investigation revealed no imports of Class 8 heavy duty trucks during the relevant period. The subject firm did not import class 8 heavy duty trucks nor was there a shift in production of class 8 heavy duty trucks from subject firm abroad during the relevant period. Furthermore, U.S. aggregate imports of Class 8 heavy duty trucks have been declining since 2006. E:\FR\FM\18JNN1.SGM 18JNN1
