Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation Brookfield Plant Brookfield, 
WI; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated August 24, 2005, a State of Wisconsin agency 
representative 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 determination was signed on July 18, 
2005, and published in the Federal Register on August 26, 2005 (70 FR 
50411).
    The determination stated that electric power tool accessory 
production at the subject facility ceased in December 2004, that 
production shifted to other domestic locations, that the subject 
company imported during 2003 and 2004, and that subject company 
customers did not import during the relevant period.
    The State agent requested reconsideration to clarify the basis for 
the negative determination.
    Upon careful review of the request for reconsideration, the 
Department has determined that there is basis to conduct further 
investigation to determine whether the subject workers are eligible to 
apply for worker adjustment assistance.

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 September 2005.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
