DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-71,494]


Johns Manville, Engineered Products Division, Spartanburg, SC; 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated May 2, 2010, 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 April 16, 2010. 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 polyester non-woven fabrics 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 pertaining to the operations and customer base 
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 14th day of May 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
