DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-62,864]


Ametek, Inc., Measurement and Calibration Technology Division, 
Sellersville, PA; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated May 30, 2008, petitioners 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 April 18, 2008 and 
published in the Federal Register on May 2, 2008 (73 FR 24318).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that criteria I.A and II.A have not been met. The 
investigation revealed that the subject firm 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 provided 
additional information regarding employment and layoffs at the subject 
firm.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record 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.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 16th day of June, 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
