Cerro Flow Products, Inc., Sauget, IL; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration
By application dated February 11, 2009, the United Steelworkers International Union (USW), District 7 requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on January 14, 2009. The Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on February 2, 2009 (74 FR 5871).
The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the finding that imports of copper tubing did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided additional information regarding imports of copper tubing and alleged that the customers might have increased imports of copper tubing in the relevant period.
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 workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.
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 10th day of June 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
