DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Modine Manufacturing, Blythewood, SC; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application postmarked October 31, 2006, a worker requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of 
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm. The determination was issued on October 12, 2006. On 
October 25, 2006, the Department's Notice of determination was 
published in the Federal Register (71 FR 62490).
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that the subject firm did not shift production abroad during the 
relevant period, that subject firm sales increased from 2004 to 2005 
while production remained constant, and that there were no decline in 
either sales or production in January through August 2006 compared to 
the same period in 2005.
    In the request for reconsideration, the worker provided additional 
information regarding the subject firm's closure (July 20, 2006 WARN 
letter: ``It is anticipated that the plant closing will commence on 
September 15 2006 and will continue into 2007'').
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and 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.

    Dated: November 16, 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
