Magna Services of America, Inc., Magna Aftermarket, Inc., a 
Subsidiary of Magna International, Greenville, MI; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application postmarked September 26, 2008, the petitioners 
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 September 3, 2008. The Notice of Determination was published 
in the Federal Register on September 18, 2008 (73 FR 54174).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of outdoor home speakers and lights 
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 petitioners provided 
additional information pertaining to the foreign facilities of the 
subject firm and alleged a shift in production of outdoor home speakers 
and lights by the subject firm to Canada.
    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 10th day of October 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
