DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-61,760]


Hutchinson Technology, Eau Claire, WI; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application postmarked August 22, 2007, the petitioner 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 denial notice was signed on July 10, 2007 and 
published in the Federal Register on July 26, 2007 (72 FR 41088).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of suspension assemblies for disk 
drives did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the 
subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding the subject firm's customers.
    The Department has reviewed the workers' request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and has determined that an 
administrative review is appropriate. 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.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 28th day of September 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
