The Department’s Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on October 3, 2013 (78 FR 61394). 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 negative determination of the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on behalf of workers at Innovative Dental, Inc., Reno, Nevada was based on the Department’s findings that a significant number or proportion of workers at the subject firm has not been totally or partially separated, or threatened with such separation. In a worker group of fewer than fifty workers, a significant number or proportion of workers is three workers. 29 CFR 90.2 The request for reconsideration stated that ‘‘over 60% of the dental laboratory restorations in this country are manufactured overseas . . . or across our Southern border’’ and did not provide any information regarding the E:\FR\FM\26MRN1.SGM 26MRN1
