DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-57,794]


Cognis Corporation, Cincinnati, OH; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter dated October 28, 2005, the United Steelworkers of 
America, Local 14340, 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 September 
29, 2005. The Department's Notice of negative determination was 
published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2005 (70 FR 62345).
    The negative determination was based on the findings that there was 
no shift of specialty chemical production abroad by the subject firm 
and no increased imports of specialty chemicals during the relevant 
period. Workers produce specialty chemicals, including fatty acids, 
glycerin, and ozone acids, and are not separately identifiable by 
product line.
    The Department carefully reviewed the Union's request for 
reconsideration and, based on new information provided by the Union 
representative, has determined that the Department will conduct further 
investigation.

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.
