administrative reconsideration of the

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 20 / Monday, February 1, 2010 / Notices
The investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that workers’ separations or
threat of separations were not related to
an increase in imports or shift/
acquisition of production of
locomotives, locomotive parts, marine
and stationary engines, and various
propulsion systems to/from a foreign
country. The subject firm did not import
locomotives, locomotive parts, marine
and stationary engines, and various
propulsion systems and did not shift
production of these articles abroad.
In the request for reconsideration the
petitioner alleged that General Electric
operates facilities in Brazil, China and
Kazakhstan, and that General Electric
has been shifting production and
‘‘employment levels’’ from the subject
firm offshore ‘‘in order to produce
locomotives in country for specific
customers.’’
The Department contacted an official
of General Electric to address the above
allegations. The company official
confirmed that General Electric has
several manufacturing facilities abroad,
which were established to supply new
markets of those countries because of
the localization requirements as well as
to satisfy the demand of new markets.
The company official further stated that
there was no shift in production from
the Erie facility to any foreign country
during the relevant period. The official
also confirmed that the layoffs at the
subject firm were due to volume
reductions in the U.S. market and that
there was no employment increase at
General Electric foreign facilities during
the relevant period.
To support their allegations, the
petitioners attached several newspaper
articles citing company’s expansion
plans into the emerging markets. The
articles do not imply that General
Electric is planning or is in process of
shifting production from the Erie,
Pennsylvania facility abroad. Rather the
articles confirm the statements made by
the company official and describe the
growth of General Electric on a global
scale, its ability to sustain competition
via advanced technology and
innovation, and outline company’s
successful penetration into the new
markets through joint ventures.
The petitioners further alleged that
General Electric imports like or directly
competitive articles into the United
States.
According to the data collected from
General Electric during the initial
investigation, the subject firm did report
imports of locomotives and like or
directly competitive articles with
products manufactured at the subject
firm. However, the data analysis
VerDate Nov<24>2008
18:35 Jan 29, 2010
Jkt 220001
illustrates that imports have decreased
during the period under investigation.
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.
After careful review of the request for
reconsideration, the Department
determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not
been met.
Conclusion
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of General
Electric Company, Transportation
Division, Erie, Pennsylvania.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day
of January 2010.

Ancor Specialties: A Division of
Hoeganaes Corporation Ridgway, PA;
Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration
On November 25, 2009, the
Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration applicable to
workers and former workers of the
subject firm. The notice was published
in the Federal Register on December 11,
2009 (73 FR 65790).
The previous investigation initiated
on June 17, 2009, resulted in a negative
determination issued on October 15,
2009, was based on the finding that
imports of alloyed powders and powder
metal parts 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
petitioners supplied additional
information regarding products
manufactured by workers of the subject
firm and customers of the subject firm.
Upon further investigation, it was
revealed that Ancor Specialties, a
division of Hoeganaes Corporation,
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Ridgway, Pennsylvania manufactured
and supplied alloyed powders for
powder metal parts and a loss of
business with a manufacturer of powder
metal parts whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance contributed importantly to
the separation or threat of separation of
workers at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
determine that workers of Ancor
Specialties, a division of Hoeganaes
Corporation, Ridgway, Pennsylvania,
who are engaged in activities related to
the production of alloyed powders meet
the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273,
I make the following certification:
All workers of Ancor Specialties, a
division of Hoeganaes Corporation, Ridgway,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or
after June 12, 2008, through two years from
the date of this certification, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date
of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 15th day of
January 2010.

General Electric Company Transportation Division; Erie, PA;
Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration
By application dated October 28, 2009, the petitioners requested
administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative
determination regarding eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of General
Electric Company, Transportation Division, Erie, Pennsylvania. The
