DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-71,251]


Ancor Specialties; a Division of Hoeganaes Corporation Ridgway, 
PA; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated November 13, 2009, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on October 15, 2009. 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 alloyed powders and powder metal 
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 alleged that 
workers of the subject firm did manufacture powder metal parts during 
the period under investigation. The petitioner also provided additional 
information regarding customers of the subject firm.
    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 25th day of November 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
