DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-62,802]


Shorewood Packaging Corporation, a Subsidiary of International 
Paper, Home Entertainment Division, Edison, NJ; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated June 9, 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 
May 13, 2008. The Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on May 29, 2008 (73 FR 30978).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of printed paper primarily for music 
and gaming packaging 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 about the customers of 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 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 U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

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