DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-62,243]


Electric Mobility Corporation, Sewell, NJ; Notice of Negative 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 26, 2007, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on December 3, 2007 (72 FR 67965-67966).
    The TAA petition, which was filed on behalf of workers at Electric 
Mobility Corporation, Sewell, New Jersey, engaged in the production of 
mobility chairs was denied based on the findings that during the 
relevant time period, the subject company did not separate or threaten 
to separate a significant number or proportion of workers, as required 
by section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner states that 
there were sixteen workers laid off from the subject firm in May, 2007.
    In determining whether there were a significant proportion of 
workers separated or threatened with separations at the subject company 
during the relevant time period, the Department contacted the subject 
firm's company official and requested employment figures for the 
relevant employment data (for one year prior to the date of the 
petition and any imminent layoffs).
    After careful review of the information provided on 
reconsideration, it was revealed that workers were laid off from the 
subject firm during the relevant time period. However, overall 
employment at the subject firm has increased from October 2006 to 
September 2007.
    As employment levels at the subject facility did not decline and 
there was no threat of separations during the relevant period. 
Therefore, criterion (a)(2)(A)(I.A.) and (a)(2)(B)(II.A.) have not been 
met.
    Should conditions change in the future, the petitioner is 
encouraged to file a new petition on behalf of the worker group which 
will encompass an investigative period that will include these changing 
conditions.

Conclusion

    After reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative 
determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
for workers and former workers of Electric Mobility Corporation, 
Sewell, New Jersey.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of December, 2007.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
