Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 205 / Monday, October 25, 2010 / Notices
The determination was issued on July
30, 2010, and the Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on August 13, 2010 (75
FR 49532). The workers provide storage
services.
The negative determination was based
on the finding that a shift of production
to Canada in 2006 did not contribute
importantly to separations at the subject
firm because, during the period of the
investigation, the subject firm did not
produce an article; rather, the subject
firm provided storage services for other
subsidiaries of AMG, the parent
company, and those storage services
were shifted to an affiliate domestic
facility. In addition, the subject firm did
not supply services to a firm that
employed a worker group that is
currently eligible to apply for TAA.
The request for reconsideration
alleges that the workers did not supply
the services identified in the
determination. The worker also states
that the subject firm is in the process of
permanently decommissioning and
shifted operations to various facilities
throughout the United States as well as
Canada, Brazil, England, and Mexico.
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, as amended.
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 7th day of
October 2010.

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 July
30, 2010 and the Notice of
Determination was published in the
Federal Register on August 13, 2010 (75
FR 49532). The workers produce metal
stampings.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that there was no
increase in imports of metal stampings
(or like or directly competitive articles)
by the subject firm or its customers, and
no shift to/acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers’ firm of article
like or directly competitive with the
metal stampings produced by the
subject workers. The investigation also
revealed that the workers did not
produce a component part that was used
by a firm that employed workers eligible
to apply for TAA and used the
component parts in the production of
the article that was the basis for the
certification.
The request for reconsideration
alleges that the subject firm supplied
component parts to firms in the
automotive industry and asserts that
increased imports of finished articles
that contain foreign-made component
parts like or directly competitive with
the metal stampings produced by the
subject firm contributed importantly to
separations at the Kankakee, Illinois
facility.
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, as amended.

ASC Machine Tools, Inc., Spokane
Valley, WA; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated September 21,
2010, a representative of the
International Association of Machinists
and Aerospace Workers (IAM&AW),
District Lodge 751, requested
administrative reconsideration of the
negative determination regarding
workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of ASC Machine Tools, Inc.,
Spokane Valley, Washington (the
subject firm). The Notice of negative
determination was issued on August 11,
2010 and published in the Federal
Register on August 30, 2010 (75 FR
52986). The workers produce customorder metal cutting machinery used to
form and cut metal, including
assembled equipment, component parts
of equipment, and spare parts.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that the subject firm
sales decline was due to loss of export
sales of foreign customers’ bids to
competitors outside the United States.
The initial investigation also revealed
decreased aggregate imports of metal
cutting equipment during the relevant
period and that the subject firm is not
a supplier or downstream producer for
any firm that employed a worker group
eligible to apply for TAA.
The union official, in the request for
reconsideration, alleges increased
imports from Sen Fung Rollform
Machinery Corporation in Taiwan and
Metform International in Canada. The
union official also articulates the
concern that ‘‘the affected workers are
being penalized due to the inconsistent
customer base of the company’’ and
requests that aggregate import data
during 2007 and 2008 be considered.
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, as amended.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
