DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-64,190]


Hafner USA, Inc.: New York, NY; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 1, 2009, the Department of Labor 
(Department) received a request for administrative reconsideration of 
the Department's Notice of 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 26, 2008. The Department's Notice of determination was 
published in the Federal Register on December 10, 2008 (73 FR 75138). 
The subject workers are engaged in textile distribution services for 
goods produced in Canada.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that the petitioning workers do not support a firm or appropriate 
subdivision that produces an article domestically.
    In the request for reconsideration, a worker alleged that the 
subject workers' work was related to the textile manufactured in 
affiliated facilities in North Carolina, Virginia, New York, and 
related to the textile dyed and finished at an affiliated facility in 
Pennsylvania.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration, 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 13th day of January 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
