The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination, based on the finding that imports of light duty diesel engines did not contribute to worker separations at the subject facility and there was no shift in production from the subject firm to foreign country during the period under investigation. The petitioner stated that General Motors is ‘‘getting out of the light truck business’’ and that the workers of the subject firm should be eligible for TAA due to the changes in the program. The investigation revealed that workers of DMAX Ltd., LLC, Dayton, Ohio produced light duty diesel engines. The investigation also revealed that worker separations at the subject facility were not caused by increased imports of light duty diesel engines into the United States nor by a shift in production of light duty diesel engines from the subject facility to a foreign country. DMAX, Ltd, LLC did not import light duty diesel engines and did not shift production abroad. The Department surveyed subject firm’s major customer regarding its purchases of light duty diesel engines in 2007, 2008, January through May 2008 and January through May 2009. The survey revealed no imports during the relevant period. The petitioner did not supply facts not previously considered; nor provide additional documentation indicating that there was either (1) a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered or (2) a misinterpretation of facts or of the law justifying reconsideration of the initial determination.

The notice was published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2009 (74 FR 57333). The initial investigation initiated on May 22, 2009, resulted in a negative determination issued on September 28, 2009, was based on the finding that imports of powdered metals did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift in production to a foreign source occurred. The denial notice was published in the Federal Register on November 17, 2009 (74 FR 59255). On reconsideration, the Department requested additional information from the subject firm’s largest customer to determine whether imports of powdered metals negatively impacted employment at the subject firm. The survey of the major declining customer revealed that the customer directly incorporated powdered metals purchased from the subject firm into powdered core. The investigation further revealed that the largest customer shifted purchases of powdered metals from the subject firm to sources in South East Asia in September 2008. Furthermore, this customer increased its imports of powdered core containing foreign-manufactured powdered metals during the relevant period and this increase in imports contributed importantly to the workers’ separation at Greenville Metals, Inc., Powder Division, Transfer, Pennsylvania. The investigation also revealed that sales, production and employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.
