The workers also supplied an article, dated February 24, 2010, that stated ‘‘Guardian is a diversified global manufacturing company * * * Guardian * * * operates facilities throughout North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.’’ During the reconsideration investigation, the Department obtained from the subject firm additional information related to those customers identified in the request for reconsideration that both employed workers groups eligible to apply for TAA and conducted business with the subject firm during the relevant period. Information obtained during the reconsideration investigation confirmed that, during the relevant period, the subject firm did not shift to/acquire from a foreign country import articles like or directly competitive with mirrored and/or laminated glass products manufactured by the subject workers. Further, the subject firm confirmed that, on a firm-wide basis, they do not import articles like or directly competitive with mirrored/ laminated glass products nor did the subject firm import articles directly incorporating component parts produced outside the United States that are like or directly competitive with imports of articles incorporating one or more component parts produced by the subject firm. While the subject firm may have produced and supplied a component part used by a firm that both employed a worker group that is currently eligible to apply for TAA and directly incorporated the glass products in the production of that article that was the basis for the TAA certification, information obtained during the reconsideration investigation revealed that the customer accounted for an insignificant percentage of the subject firm sales. Therefore, the Department confirms that the subject workers are not adversely affected secondary workers.

Chrysler Financial Services Americas, LLC, a Subsidiary of FinCo 
Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, Troy Customer Contact Center; Troy, MI; 
Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On September 21, 2010, the Department of Labor issued an 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for 
the workers and former workers of Chrysler Financial Services Americas, 
LLC, a subsidiary of FinCo Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, Troy Customer 
Contact Center, Troy, Michigan (subject firm). The Department's Notice 
was published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2010 (75 FR 
60138).
    The subject worker group is engaged in employment related to the 
supply of automotive-related financial services to dealers and 
consumers, including retail and wholesale financing, remarketing, and 
customer service and collections.
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) if it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
    (3) if in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a mis-
interpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of the 
decision.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there have not been increased imports of 
services like or directly competitive with the financial services 
supplied by the subject firm, and there has not been a shift in the 
supply of services by the firm to a foreign country. In addition, the 
subject firm is not a supplier or downstream producer to a firm that 
employed a worker group eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA). For worker groups that supply a service instead of 
producing a component part, the term ``supplier'' means a firm that 
supplies directly to another firm services used in the production of 
articles or in the supply of services, as the case may be, that were 
the basis for the certification of eligibility.
    The request for reconsideration states that ``the workers at 
Chrysler Financial Services, Troy, Michigan were engaged in activities 
that initiated the need to produce automotive vehicles and automotive 
vehicle parts * * * multiple production facilities within the Chrysler 
Group has lost production due to imports which resulted in the decrease 
in sales.''
    Information collected during the initial investigation confirmed 
that another domestic entity would be the new financial arm for 
Chrysler, LLC, and that, as a result, certain functions performed by 
the subject workers have been realigned domestically.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
information that confirmed that the subject firm did not shift to nor 
acquire from a foreign country the supply of services like or directly 
competitive with the services supplied by the subject workers.
    Further, the Department determined that the services supplied by 
the subject workers were not used in the production of an article. 
Rather, the financial services supplied by the subject worker group are 
post-production.

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 Chrysler Financial Services Americas, 
LLC, a subsidiary of FinCo Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, Troy Customer 
Contact Center, Troy, Michigan.
