Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
General Electric Company,
Transportation Division, Erie, PA;
Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated August 20, 2009,
a company official requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on August 3,
2009. The Notice of Determination was
published in the Federal Register on
September 22, 2009 (74 FR 48304).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of parts feeding and
assembly equipment 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 provided additional
information regarding customers of the
subject firm and increasing foreign
competition in the bidding process.
The Department has 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
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
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 21st day of
October 2009.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.

BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P
[OMB Control No. 1205–0392]
By application dated October 28,
2009, the petitioners requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on October 8,
2009. The Notice of Determination will
soon be published in the Federal
Register.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of locomotives,
locomotive parts, marine and stationary
engines, and various propulsion systems
did not contribute importantly to
worker separations at the subject firm.
The investigation revealed that the
subject firm did not shift production of
locomotives, locomotive parts, marine
and stationary engines, and various
propulsion systems to foreign countries
during the period under investigation.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner alleged that General Electric
reduced employment levels at the
subject facility as a direct result of shifts
in production to Brazil, China and
Kazakhstan.
The Department has 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 16th day of
November 2009.

ICR, with applicable supporting
documentation; including among other
things a description of the likely
