Truseal Technologies, Inc., A Division
of Quanex Building Products
Corporation, Barbourville, Kentucky;
Notice of Negative Determination on
Reconsideration
On April 27, 2012, the Department of
Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for the workers and
former workers of Truseal Technologies,
a Division of Quanex Building Products
Corporation, Barbourville, Kentucky
(subject firm). The subject firm produces
flashing used in building construction

and sealants used in window and door
products and photovoltaic panels.
Workers are not separately identifiable
by article produced.
The negative determination was based
on the Department’s findings of no
subject firm sales or production declines
and no shift of production to a foreign
country.
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 misinterpretation of facts or of
the law justified reconsideration of the
decision.
The request for reconsideration
alleges that the subject firm has shifted
to Germany the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the
flashing and sealant produced by the
subject firm and that this information
was provided by a company official.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department received
confirmation from the subject firm of no
shift to (or acquisition from) a foreign
country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with the flashing
and sealant produced by the subject
firm. Rather, the subject firm
consolidated production to an existing,
affiliated domestic facility.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department also
contacted the company official
identified in the request for
reconsideration. The company official
clarified that, while the subject firm
does have a facility in Germany, there
was no shift in production to any
facility than the Cambridge, Ohio
facility and the workers who filed the
request for reconsideration had
misunderstood him.
Previously-submitted information
revealed that subject firm employment,
sales, and production did not decline
prior to the plant closure in August
2012. Rather, employment, sales, and
production increased in 2011 from 2010
levels.
Therefore, after careful review of
previously-submitted information, the
request for reconsideration, and
information obtained during
reconsideration investigation, the
Department determines that 29 CFR
90.18(c) has not been met.

Long Elevator & Machine Company,
Inc., Including Workers Whose Wages
Were Reported Through Kone, Inc.,
Riverton, IL; Notice of Negative
Determination on Reconsideration
On May 21, 2012, the Department of
Labor issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration for workers and
former workers of Long Elevator &
Machine Company, Inc., including
workers whose wages were reported
through Kone, Inc., Riverton, Illinois
(hereafter referred to as Long Elevator &
Machine Company or the subject firm).
The Department’s Notice was published
in the Federal Register on June 6, 2012
(77 FR 33490). The workers’ firm was
engaged in activities related to the
supply of elevator production and repair
services. The subject worker group was
engaged in activities related to the
supply of elevator repair services, which
included production of repair parts
(elevator component parts).
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 no
shift in production of elevator

component parts to a foreign country
and no increased imports of elevator
component parts (or like or directly
competitive articles). Rather, the supply
of elevator repair services and
production of elevator components at
the subject firm was consolidated to
another facility within the United States
by the parent company, Kone, Inc.
In the request for reconsideration, a
worker alleged that the subject firm’s
parent company had shifted abroad the
production of articles like or directly
competitive with those produced at the
subject firm facility of Long Elevator &
Machine Company.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department clarified
information provided by workers,
sought confirmation of previouslysubmitted information from the subject
firm, and obtained new information
from the subject firm.
Information obtained during the
reconsideration investigation confirmed
that neither the subject firm nor its
parent company shifted to (or acquired
from) a foreign country the production
of articles like or directly competitive
with the elevator component parts
produced by the subject workers and
that neither the subject firm nor its
parent company shifted to (or acquired
from) a foreign country the supply of
services like or directly competitive
with the repair services supplied by the
subject workers.
Because each component part is
specific to an elevator and the
replacement parts produced at the
Riverton, Illinois facility are for existing
elevators, the component parts used in
new elevators are not directly
competitive with those for repaired
elevators.
Although Kone, Inc. has facilities
abroad which produce new elevators for
installation, elevators are not like or
directly competitive with elevator parts
because component parts are not like or
directly competitive with finished
articles (elevators). The subject firm
confirmed that component parts which
are like or directly competitive with
those formerly produced at the Riverton,
Illinois facility are produced at other
domestic facilities.
Therefore, after careful review of
existing information, the request for
reconsideration, and new information
obtained during the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not
been met.
Conclusion
After careful reconsideration, I affirm
the original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
