DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-65,433]


American Racing Equipment, LLC, Denver, CO; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated April 25, 2009, 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 
April 6, 2009. The Notice of Determination will be soon published in 
the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of two-piece automotive wheels did 
not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm. 
The investigation revealed that the subject firm did not shift 
production of two-piece automotive wheels to a foreign country during 
the relevant period.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleged that the 
workers of the subject also supported production of one piece and cast 
wheels. The petitioner also alleged that the subject firm shifted 
production to China and that there was an increase in imports of one 
piece and cast wheels from China.
    The Department 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 11th day of May 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
