Wacker Neuson Corporation, a Subsidiary of Wacker Neuson SE, 
Menomonee Falls, WI; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated August 17, 2010, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration of the affirmative determination 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
certification of eligibility was issued on July 30, 2010. The Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2010 
(75 FR 49530). The workers produce a variety of construction equipment 
and are not separately identifiable by product line.
    The initial investigation resulted in a positive determination 
based on the findings that a significant proportion or number of the 
workers at the subject firm were totally or partially separated, or 
threatened with such separation, that the subject firm has shifted to a 
foreign country the production of articles like or directly competitive 
with the construction equipment produced by the workers, and that this 
shift of production contributed importantly to worker group separations 
at the subject firm.
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official states 
that the shift abroad did not contribute importantly to worker 
separations at the subject firm because the article shifted required 
only a few workers and that once the work was shifted abroad, the 
workers were reassigned to other product lines. The company official 
further states that the separated workers have been recalled to work 
because the production of the other lines have increased despite the 
shift of production of the one line of construction equipment to the 
Philippines.
    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 whether the workers do meet the eligibility requirements of 
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

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 18th day of August, 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
