[TA-W-63,976]


Stauble Machine and Tool Co., Inc., Louisville, KY; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated December 2, 2008, 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 
November 7, 2008. The Notice of Determination was published in the 
Federal Register on November 25, 2008 (73 FR 71696).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of metal stamping parts 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 regarding subject firm's production facility in 
Mexico and alleged a shift in production from the subject firm to 
Mexico.
    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 December 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
