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.

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.

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 postproduction.

Consolidated Glass and Mirror Corporation, a Subsidiary of 
Guardian Industries Corporation, Galax, VA; 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 Consolidated Glass and Mirror 
Corporation, a Subsidiary of Guardian Industries Corporation, Galax, 
Virginia (subject firm). The Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on September 29, 2010 (75 FR 60139). Workers are engaged in 
employment related to the production of mirrored and/or laminated glass 
articles used in furniture, automotives and architecture.
    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 the subject firm did not, during the period 
under investigation, shift to/acquire from a foreign country the 
production of articles like or directly competitive with the mirrored 
and/or laminated glass products manufactured by the workers; that 
increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with the 
mirrored and/or laminated glass products manufactured by the workers 
did not contribute importantly to the workers' separation, or threat of 
separation; and that the workers did not produce a component part that 
was directly used in the production of an article or the supply of 
service by a firm that employed a worker group that is eligible to 
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) based on the aforementioned 
article.
    The request for reconsideration, filed by former workers of the 
subject firm, stated that the Galax, Virginia facility is owned by 
``Guardian Industries, a

[[Page 19473]]

company that has plants all over the world'' and identified customers 
with worker groups eligible to apply for TAA (``Pulaski Furniture 
certified 1/17/07, Woodmaster certified 5/19/06, Ridgeway Furniture 
certified 11/6/07, Hooker Furniture certified 10/5/06, American Pride 
certified 8/25/09 and Stanley Furniture 5/5/10''). 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.

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 Consolidated Glass and Mirror 
Corporation, a Subsidiary of Guardian Industries Corporation, Galax, 
Virginia.

    Signed in Washington, DC, on this 29th day of March, 2011.
