[TA-W-62,858]


Household Utilities, Inc., Kiel, WI; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated April 7, 2008, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on 
March 5, 2008. The Notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on March 21, 2008 (73 FR 15218).
    The determination was based on the Department's findings that sales 
and production of industrial parts, medical carts and medical cabinets 
increased in 2007 as compared to 2006 and no shift in production to a 
foreign source occurred.
    The request for reconsideration alleges that sales and production 
decreased in January, 2008 and customers of the subject firm shifted 
production abroad.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and will investigate the period of time as defined by 
the petitioner which is under the relevant period of the investigation.

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 17th day of April 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
