Determinations Terminating
Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was
published in the Federal Register and
on the Department’s Web site, as
required by Section 221 of the Act (19
U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated
investigations of these petitions.
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not
filed in accordance with the
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every
petition filed by workers must be signed
by at least three individuals of the
petitioning worker group. Petitioners
separated more than one year prior to
the date of the petition cannot be
covered under a certification of a
petition under Section 223(b), and
therefore, may not be part of a
petitioning worker group. For one or
more of these reasons, these petitions
were deemed invalid.
TA–W–80,207; Tecumseh Products
Corp., Ann Arbor, MI.
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of
workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further
investigation in these cases would serve
no purpose since the petitioning group
of workers cannot be covered by more
than one certification at a time.
TA–W–80,241; CompuCredit Holdings
Corporation, Atlanta, GA.
I hereby certify that the
aforementioned determinations were
issued during the period of June 27,
2011 through July 1, 2011. Copies of
these determinations may be requested
under the Freedom of Information Act.

At the request of a worker separated
from the Hagerstown, Maryland facility,
the Department reviewed the

access equipment and supplied design
engineering, global procurement supply
chain, safety, and reliability services
used in the production of equipment at
JLG-McConnellsburg.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to properly reflect these
matters.

Husqvarna Turf Care, a Subsidiary of
Husqvarna A.B., Beatrice, NE; Notice
of Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On May 3, 2011, the Department of
Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Husqvarna Turf Care,
a subsidiary of Husqvarna A.B.,
Beatrice, Nebraska (subject firm). The
Department’s Notice was published in
the Federal Register on May 20, 2011
(76 FR 29273). The workers are engaged
in activities related to the production of
zero turn mowers for commercial users
and home owners.
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 was
based on the findings that Criterion III
has not been met because the worker
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703

separations are not attributable to
increased imports or a shift in
production to a foreign country. Rather,
the investigation established that the
worker separations were attributable to
a shift in production to an affiliated
facility within the United States, and
that the shift is attributable to business
considerations unrelated to increased
imports.
With regard to the affiliated facility
(TA–W–74,418) identified in the
petition, the investigation confirmed
that the shift by the workers’ firm of
computer-aided design (CAD) services
to a foreign country was unrelated to the
shift in production in this case.
With respect to Section 222(c) of the
Act, the investigation revealed that
Criterion (2) has not been met because
the firm is not a Supplier or
Downstream Producer to a firm that
employed a worker group eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that ‘‘it has been the
intent of Husqvarna to gradually but
progressively move these jobs to another
country or countries * * * It has been
rumored that he (a line leader) has been
given the ultimatum to increase his
production or they would move this line
to Germany. In addition to this, it was
rumored that they had built a new
building in Germany * * * and that our
PZ line was already running in Germany
before our plant had closed.’’
In an attachment to the request,
another worker stated that ‘‘we have
reports that some of our jobs have
already been moved to foreign soil and
that more will be in the future.’’
A careful review of the administrative
record and additional information
obtained by the Department during the
reconsideration investigation confirmed
that the worker separations are not
attributable to increased imports or a
shift in production to a foreign country.
Rather, the investigation established
that the worker separations were
attributable to a shift in production to
an affiliated facility within the United
States, and that all production was
moved to Orangeburg, South Carolina.
Further, the firm addressed the abovementioned petitioner allegations, in
addition to confirming that separations
were attributable to a shift in production
to an affiliated facility within the United
States, and that all production was
moved to Orangeburg, South Carolina.
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

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
in cases where these petitions were not filed in accordance with the
requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every petition filed by workers must be
signed by at least three individuals of the petitioning worker group.
Petitioners separated more than one year prior to the date of the
petition cannot be covered under a certification of a petition under
Section 223(b), and therefore, may not be part of a petitioning worker
group. For one or more of these reasons, these petitions were deemed
invalid.
TA-W-80,207; Tecumseh Products Corp., Ann Arbor, MI.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.

during the period of June 27, 2011 through July 1, 2011. Copies of
