DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-64,020]


American Multimedia, Inc., Burlington, NC; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 6, 2008, the 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 
December 17, 2008. The Notice of Determination will soon be published 
in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of replicated CD's, VHS, DVD's, and 
cassette tapes 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 the customers of the subject firm and 
alleged that the customers might have increased imports of CD's, VHS, 
DVD's, and cassette tapes.
    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 9th day of January 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
