[TA-W-63,130]


Sea Gull Lighting Products LLC, Riverside, NJ; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application submitted via facsimile on August 28, 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 July 28, 2008. The Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on August 12, 2008 
(73 FR 46924).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of residential lighting fixtures 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 pertaining to the imports of lighting fixtures 
and the impact it has on subject firm production.
    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 5th day of September 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
