[TA-W-60,827]


Sun Microsystems, Inc., Louisville, CO; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter dated April 16, 2007, a worker requested administrative 
reconsideration by the Department of Labor (Department) of the Notice 
of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm. The negative determination was issued on March 14, 2007. 
The Department's Notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on March 30, 2007 (72 FR 15168). The workers supported 
production at an affiliated facility in Puerto Rico.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that, during the relevant period, the subject firm did not shift work 
performed in Louisville, Colorado abroad and did not shift production 
work from Puerto Rico to a foreign country. The determination also 
stated that the subject firm sold the Puerto Rico facility to another 
company.
    In the request for reconsideration, the workers alleged that the 
subject firm shifted production and support functions abroad.
    Following the issuance of the negative determination, the 
Department received new information regarding activities at the subject 
firm and the affiliated Puerto Rico production facility.
    Following a careful review of the workers' request for 
reconsideration and the above-referenced new information, the 
Department has determined that further investigation is appropriate.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of May 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
