Greenville Metals, Inc., Powder Division, Transfer, PA; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 20, 2009, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2009 (74 FR 57333).
    The initial investigation initiated on May 22, 2009, resulted in a 
negative determination issued on September 28, 2009, was based on the 
finding that imports of powdered metals did not contribute importantly 
to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift in production to 
a foreign source occurred. The denial notice was published in the 
Federal Register on November 17, 2009 (74 FR 59255).
    On reconsideration, the Department requested additional information 
from the subject firm's largest customer to determine whether imports 
of powdered metals negatively impacted employment at the subject firm.
    The survey of the major declining customer revealed that the 
customer directly incorporated powdered metals purchased from the 
subject firm into powdered core. The investigation further revealed 
that the largest customer shifted purchases of powdered metals from the 
subject firm to sources in South East Asia in September 2008. 
Furthermore, this customer increased its imports of powdered core 
containing foreign-manufactured powdered metals during the relevant 
period and this increase in imports contributed importantly to the 
workers' separation at Greenville Metals, Inc., Powder Division, 
Transfer, Pennsylvania.
    The investigation also revealed that sales, production and 
employment at the subject firm declined during the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of Greenville Metals, Inc., 
Powder Division, Transfer, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities 
related to the production of powdered metals meet the worker group 
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19. U.S.C. 2273, I 
make the following certification:

    All workers of Greenville Metals, Inc., Powder Division, 
Transfer, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after May 19, 2008, through two years from the 
date of this certification, and all workers in the group threatened 
with total or partial separation from employment on date of 
certification through two years from the date of certification, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title 
II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.


    Signed in Washington, DC, this 24th day of November 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
