requirements under Section 222(a) and
(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a) and (c),
have not been met. 29 CFR 90.2 states
that a significant number or proportion
of the workers means at least three
workers in a firm (or appropriate
subdivision thereof) with a workforce of
fewer than 50 workers, or five percent
of the workers or 50 workers, whichever
is less, in a workforce of 50 or more
workers.
Although the Department was able to
confirm separations at the Itasca, Illinois
facility, the number or proportion of
workers totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation, at
Enesco, LLC, Itasca, Illinois, does not
meet the regulatory definition.
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 Enesco,
LLC, Itasca, Illinois (TA–W–73,479A).
Signed in Washington, DC, on this 2nd day

ASC Machine Tools, Inc., Spokane
Valley, WA; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On October 7, 2010, the Department
of Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of ASC Machine Tools,
Inc., Spokane Valley, Washington (the
subject firm). The Department’s Notice
was published in the Federal Register
on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65516). The
workers produce custom-order metal
cutting machinery used to form and cut
metal, including assembled equipment,
component parts of equipment, and
spare parts. Workers are not separately
identifiable by article produced.
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

in the determination of facts not
previously considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA).
The International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers,
District Lodge 751, in the request for
reconsideration, alleges increased
imports from Sen Fung Rollform
Machinery Corporation in Taiwan and
Metform International in Canada. The
request for reconsideration 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.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department received
information that confirmed that Sen
Fung Rollform Machinery Corporation
in Taiwan and Metform International in
Canada are competitors of the subject
firm and not customers, as inferred in
the request for reconsideration. As such,
the Department did not conduct a bid
survey in regard to the aforementioned
companies.
In regard to the request that aggregate
import data be considered for 2007 and
2008, the Department can not consider
data for this period because it is outside
of the relevant period under
investigation.
29 CFR 90.2 states that increased
imports means that imports have
increased either absolutely or relative to
domestic production compared to a
representative base period. The
representative base period shall be one
year consisting of the four quarters
immediately preceding the date which
is twelve months prior to the date of the
petition.

Reconsideration
Conclusion
On November 10, 2010, the
Department issued a Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration for the
workers and former workers of Algonac
Cast Products, Inc., Algonac, Michigan
(subject firm) to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA). The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on November 23,
2010 (75 FR 7145). Workers are engaged
in employment related to the
production of marine hardware and are
not separately identifiable by article
produced.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department received
additional and new information from
the subject firm, conducted an
expanded customer survey, and
analyzed import data of like or directly
competitive articles.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met
because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm
became totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met
because subject firm sales and
production decreased during 2009 from
2008 levels.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met
because there were increased imports of
articles like or directly competitive with
marine hardware produced by the
subject firm.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has
been met because the increased imports
contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production
declines at Algonac Cast Products, Inc.,
Algonac, Michigan.
After reconsideration, I affirm the
original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of ASC
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
determine that workers and former
workers of Algonac Cast Products, Inc.,

partially separated from employment on or

Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and

officials, revealed that workers and
former workers of the subject firm,
including workers whose wages were
reported under Ford Company, Visteon,
MSX International, W.J. O’Neil
Company, and Unibar, meet the
certification criteria.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department received
additional information regarding the
subject firm’s staffing arrangements with
Ford Company and Visteon and how the
Saline, Michigan facility operated in
conjunction with affiliated production
facilities, including those that have
employed worker groups eligible to
apply for TAA.
Criterion I has been met because a
significant number or proportion of
workers at the subject firm were totally
separated.
Criterion II has been met because
sales and production of interior
automotive component parts at the
subject firm decreased absolutely during
the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because
imports of articles like or directly
competitive with the interior
automotive component parts produced
by Automotive Components Holdings,
LLC, a Subsidiary of Ford Motor
Company, Saline Plant Division, Saline,
Michigan, increased during the relevant
period and contributed importantly to
worker separations at the Saline,
Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional
facts obtained on reconsideration, I
determine that workers and former
workers of Automotive Components
Holdings, LLC, a Subsidiary of Ford
Motor Company, Saline Plant Division,
Saline, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of
interior automotive component parts,
meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act,

partial separation from employment on date
of certification through two years from the

Penske Logistics LLC, a Subsidiary of
General Electric/Penske Corporation
Including On-Site Leased Workers
From Kelly Temporary Services and
Manpower El Paso, TX; Notice of
Termination of Investigation
On March 18, 2011, the Department
issued a Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration applicable to
workers and former workers of Penske
Logistics LLC, a subsidiary of General
Electric/Penske Corporation, El Paso,
Texas (subject firm). The Department’s
Notice was published in the Federal
Register on March 29, 2011 (76 FR
17447). The workers are engaged in
employment related to the supply of
customer service functions.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that the subject firm did
not shift to/acquire from a foreign
country services like or directly
competitive with the customer services
supplied; that the workers’ separation,
or threat of separation, was not due to
an increase in imports of like or directly
competitive services; and that the
workers were not eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) as
adversely-affected secondary workers.
On January 31, 2011, the three
workers who filed the request for
reconsideration filed a petition for TAA
on behalf of the same worker group
(TA–W–75,158). A certification
applicable to the worker group covered
by TA–W–75,158 (including on-site
leased workers of Kelly Temporary
Services and Manpower) was issued on
February 23, 2011. The Department’s
Notice of Determination (TA–W–75,158)
was published in the Federal Register
on March 10, 2011 (76 FR 13233).
Further investigation on
administrative reconsideration would
serve no purpose; therefore, the
immediate investigation is terminated.
