[TA-W-59,183]


Gehl Company, West Bend, WI; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter dated June 28, 2006, the United Steelworkers of America, 
requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's 
Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for 
Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance applicable to workers of the subject firm. The denial notice 
was signed on June 7, 2006, and published in the Federal Register on 
July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40160).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that the subject firm did not import agricultural 
implements or shift production abroad in 2004, 2005, or during the 
period of January through March 2006. Furthermore, the Department 
surveyed the subject firm's major declining customers resulting in the 
revelation of minimal imports of agricultural implements during the 
relevant period and increased reliance on purchases from other domestic 
sources.
    The Department reviewed the request for reconsideration and has 
determined that the petitioner has provided additional information 
regarding a shift in the firm's production of parts and components. 
Therefore, the Department will conduct further investigation to 
determine if the workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade 
Act of 1974.

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.
