Navistar Truck Development and
Technology Center, a Subsidiary of
Navistar International Corporation
Truck Division, Fort Wayne, IN; Notice
of Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated May 31, 2011, a
petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
VerDate Mar<15>2010

and former workers of Navistar Truck
Development and Technology Center, a
Subsidiary of Navistar International
Corporation, Truck Division, Fort
Wayne, Indiana (subject firm). The
negative determination was issued on
April 13, 2011. The Department’s Notice
of Determination was published in the
Federal Register on May 2, 2011 (76 FR
24536). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the supply of truck
body engineering and design services.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that, with respect to
Section 222(a) of the Act, Criterion II
has not been met because imports of
engineering and design services have
not increased and there has not been a
shift of engineering and design services
by the workers’ firm to a foreign
country. Further, Criterion III has not
been met because the worker
separations are not attributable to
increased imports or a shift of services
to a foreign country. Rather, the
investigation confirmed that the worker
separations are attributable to a
consolidation and shift of engineering
and design services to another facility
located within the United States.
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 with a
TAA-certified worker group.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that ‘‘Navistar has not
only increased the amount of work that
they outsource, they have increased the
number of countries that they outsource
that work to.’’ The petitioner referenced
multiple attachments and stated that the
subject firm has joint ventures with
China, India, Brazil, and Europe. The
petitioner also stated that ‘‘This chart
shows Fort Wayne employees doing
export work under the heading of
Mexico, Brazil, and Export Engineering
* * *. The work is now clearly
outsourced to India, Brazil, and China
according to the organizational chart.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘two job postings
for Chief Engineers to work in China to
oversee Engineering and Design work.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘shows new work
being sent to a Company in Romania
* * * shows the name of the on-site
coordinator, whose primary
responsibility is to prepare and send
work via the internet for his
counterparts in Romania to perform
* * * shows a listing of work that has
been transferred to Romania for
completion.’’ The petitioner also
referenced an attachment and stated
PO 00000

‘‘shows the increasing amount of work
being sent to Brazil.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘shows an email
with an employee break down of the
increase in the amount of work being
sent to India from a single department.
This department sent out 4 jobs to India
in 2010, and has already sent nine jobs
to India in the first four months of
2011.’’ The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘details how IT
Services group was partially replaced by
a call center/support staff in India.’’
The petitioner also referenced an
attachment and stated ‘‘Navistar
answered the Community’s questions
about their intentions for the property
they were acquiring for the move. * * *
This is a headcount reduction across the
nation, made possible by the Global
Outsourcing. * * * ’’ The petitioner also
referenced an attachment and stated
‘‘Earlier Exhibits detailed that these
countries are doing their own
engineering and development work,
they not simply ‘points of sale.’. ’’
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record, and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the petitioning workers
meet the eligibility requirements of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of
September, 2011.

(subject firm). The determination was
issued on June 8, 2011. The
Department’s Notice of Determination
was published in the Federal Register
on June 24, 2011 (76 FR 37155).
Workers are engaged in activities related
to the production of yarn.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings that the
subject firm did not shift production of
yarn to a foreign country; the subject
firm did not import yarn during the
relevant period; and increased U.S.
aggregate imports of articles like or
directly competitive with yarn produced
at the subject firm did not contribute
importantly to the subject workers’
separation because the imports coincide
with increases in sales and production
at the subject firm.
Further, the investigation revealed
that the subject firm is not a Supplier or
Downstream Producer to a firm that
employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. 2272(a).
The determination stated that the
workers’ separations were attributable to
a change of product line.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that ‘‘Parkdale #22
Galax plants only customer is in China,
the company lowered the production,
which eliminated our jobs because the
customer lowered the orders * * *.’’
The Department has carefully
reviewed the petitioner’s request for
reconsideration and the existing record,
and has determined that the Department
will conduct further investigation to
determine if the petitioning workers
meet the eligibility requirements of the

Notice of Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application for
Reconsideration; Tecumseh Products
Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI
By application dated August 18, 2011,
a petitioner requested administrative
reconsideration of the termination of
investigation regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of Tecumseh
Products Corporation, Ann Arbor,
Michigan (subject firm). The
termination of investigation was issued
on July 1, 2011. The Department’s
Notice of Determination was published
in the Federal Register on July 20, 2011
(76 FR 43351). The workers are engaged
in activities related to the production of
refrigeration compressors.
The termination was based on the
Department’s findings that there was not
a valid worker group at the subject firm.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner stated that ‘‘I do not know
you are defining a ‘worker group’, but
the three of us worked in the North
American Engineering Organization and
Greg Cowen and Trina Higgins reported
to me as part of the ‘Lead, Records,
Standards and Systems Group.’ ’’ The
petitioner also included an
organizational chart and an
‘‘organization announcement’’ (dated
December 20, 2010) regarding a realignment.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record, and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the petitioning workers
meet the eligibility requirements of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
