DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-58,177]


Rexnord Disc Coupling Operation, Coupling Division Warren, PA; 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated December 30, 2005, the International 
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Lodge No. 2304, (``the 
Union'') 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 Department's determination was issued on December 16, 2005. 
The Department's Notice was published in the Federal Register on 
January 5, 2006 (71 FR 620).
    The negative determination was based on the findings that company 
sales and production did not decline from 2003 through 2004, and 
January through October 2005 over the corresponding 2004 period. The 
determination also stated that the subject firm shifted plant 
production to Auburn, Alabama.
    In the request for reconsideration, the Union alleges that the 
subject firm increased imports, is shifting production to China and 
bringing back the finished product.
    The Department carefully reviewed the Union's request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation based on new information provided by the Union 
and a more careful analysis of the record.

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 18th day of January 2006.

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