DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-55,261]


Sony Electronics, Inc. AOEM Service Center Farmington Hills, MI; 
Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 7, 2004, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The Notice was published in the 
Federal Register on October 25, 2004 (69 FR 62301). The Department 
initially denied Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternate Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) to workers of Sony Electronics, Inc., AOEM 
Service Center, Farmington Hills, Michigan, because the workers did not 
produce an article but performed repair services on consumer 
electronics.
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official alleged 
that the subject facility is engaged in production because the workers 
repair and refurbish Sony products.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department requested 
that the subject company provide additional information regarding the 
allegations as well as complete a questionnaire.
    The investigation revealed that the subject worker group primarily 
repaired consumer electronic and neither produced refurbished consumer 
electronics nor assembled electronics goods during the relevant time 
period.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Sony Electronics, Inc., AOEM Service 
Center, Farmington Hills, Michigan.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of November 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
