DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA-05663]


Exide Technologies, Transportation Global Business Unit, 
Shreveport, Louisiana; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By letter of June 28, 2002 the International Union, UAW, Region 5 
and Local Union 1532 requested administrative reconsideration of the 
Department of Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance. The 
denial notice was signed on May 16, 2002 and published in the Federal 
Register on June 4, 2002 (67 FR 38522).
    The petitioner supplied a list of additional customers they believe 
should be surveyed, since they feel the Department did not survey the 
correct customers for the relevant period. On further review, the 
Department will conduct a survey of these customers to determine if 
imports contributed importantly to the declines in employment at the 
subject plant.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of August, 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
