Consolidated Glass and Mirror Corporation, a Subsidiary of 
Guardian Industries Corporation, Galax, VA; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated September 2, 2010, petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration of the

[[Page 60139]]

negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of Consolidated Glass and Mirror Corporation, a Subsidiary of 
Guardian Industries Corporation, Galax, Virginia (subject firm). The 
determination was issued on August 5, 2010. The Department's Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2010 
(75 FR 51849). Workers are engaged in employment related to the 
production of laminated glass products.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that the 
subject firm did not, during the period under investigation, shift to a 
foreign country production of articles like or directly competitive 
with those produced by the workers or acquire these articles from a 
foreign country; that the workers' separation, or threat of separation, 
was not related to any increase in imports of like or directly 
competitive articles; and that the workers did not produce an article 
that was directly used in the production of an article or the supply of 
service by a firm that employed a worker group that is eligible to 
apply for TAA based on the aforementioned article or service.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners provided 
additional information pertaining to subject firm customers that employ 
workers who are eligible to apply for TAA.
    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 
petitioning workers 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 21st day of September 2010.
