DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-55,216]


ITW Insulation Systems, Nitro, WV; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application of October 4, 2004, the United Steelworkers of 
America, Local Union 14614, Nitro, West Virginia requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of 
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers of the subject firm. The 
denial was signed on August 11, 2004, and the notice of determination 
was published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2004 (69 FR 
54320).
    The petitioner has alleged that because the last separations 
occurred in August 2004, the relevant time period extends to the end of 
August 2004. The Union also alleged that the customer survey should 
have included primary customers located in the northeast part of the 
United States.
    Because the investigatory period is limited to the petition date 
(July 7, 2004), the first request cannot be accommodated. However, the 
Department will conduct an expanded customer survey.

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 in Washington, DC, this 11th day of January, 2005.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
