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

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

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

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

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 postproduction.
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.

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.
