Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application received March 22,
2010, the petitioner 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 December
18, 2009, and the Notice of
Determination was published in the
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
38125
Federal Register on February 16, 2010
(75 FR 7034).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that, during the relevant period,
Fanuc Robotics America neither
imported articles like or directly
competitive with the robotic systems
produced at the subject firm nor shifted
production of robotic systems to a
foreign country.
Furthermore, the Department
surveyed Fanuc Robotics America’s
major declining customers regarding
purchases of robotic systems in 2007,
2008, and during January through April
2009. The survey revealed negligible
imports of robotic systems during the
relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that
the subject firm was not eligible as a
Supplier or a Downstream Producer
because they did not supply a
component part used by a firm that
employed a worker group covered by an
active TAA certification.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided additional
information to support a secondary
certification. Further, the petitioner had
emphasized that subject firm workers
had participated in the production
process in their customers’ plants
during the initial installation, testing,
and worker training phases that
followed the delivery of the subject
firm’s robotic devices to the customers.
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 21st day of
June, 2010.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
