Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 14, 2009 / Notices
On February 17, 2009, President
Obama signed into law the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,
commonly known as the economic
stimulus package. The new provision of
the Trade Act went into effect on May
18, 2009 and applies to petitions filed
on or after that date. The petition at
hand was filed on March 30, 2009, and
therefore, cannot be considered under
the new provision.
The workers are encouraged to file a
new petition, if the workers wish to be
considered under the New TAA
Program.
Conclusion
After review of the application and
investigative findings, I conclude that
there has been no error or
misinterpretation of the law or of the
facts which would justify
reconsideration of the Department of
Labor’s prior decision. Accordingly, the
application is denied.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 22nd day
of June, 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

American Racing Equipment, LLC,
Denver, CO; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On May 11, 2009, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of the subject firm. The
notice was published in the Federal
Register on June 16, 2009 (74 FR 28552).
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 and no shift of production
to a foreign source occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that the workers of the
subject firm also supported production
of cast, one piece wheels. The petitioner
alleged that the subject firm shifted
production of the cast, one piece wheels
abroad and that there was an increase in
imports of the cast, one piece wheels.
The Department of Labor contacted a
company official to verify this
information. The company official
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
stated that the workers of the subject
firm distributed the cast, one piece
wheels which were mostly
manufactured in China. The company
official also stated that the subject firm
ceased production of the cast, one piece
wheels long before 2008 and that no
cast, one piece wheels were
manufactured by American Racing
Equipment, LLC during the relevant
period.
When assessing eligibility for Trade
Adjustment Assistance, the Department
exclusively considers production, shifts
in production and import impact during
the relevant time period (one year prior
to the date of the petition). Therefore,
events occurring prior to February 26,
2008, are outside of the relevant period
and are not relevant in this
investigation. The investigation revealed
that workers of the subject firm did not
manufacture the cast, one piece wheels
and did not support production of the
cast, one piece wheels at any affiliated
domestic facility during the relevant
period.
To support the allegation of a shift in
production to China the petitioner
attached an e-mail correspondence from
an American Racing Equipment, LLC
employee dated March 13, 2008.
Upon further analysis it was revealed
that the document contains a review of
the subject firm’s sales for the month of
February 2008. The letter also refers to
the negative impact of bad winter
conditions in China to the Chinese
production which was the reason of
reduced sales at the subject firm in
February 2008.
The investigation revealed that the
above mentioned document does not
contain any information which supports
the petitioner allegation regarding
production of the cast, one piece wheels
by workers of the subject firm or a shift
in production of the cast, one piece
wheels during the relevant period.
The petitioner also attached a letter
dated June 29, 2007 signed by a
company official.
Documents referring to the events
which took place in 2007 are outside of
the relevant time period and cannot be
considered in this investigation.
The petitioner also attached a
spreadsheet named ‘‘Salesperson Pace
Report—Daily Needs’’. The Department
reviewed the document and determined
that it does not contain any additional
valid information as it relates to this
determination.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
