DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-73,479]


Enesco, LLC, Gund Division, Distribution Center, Edison, NJ; 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated October 5, 2010, by an Illinois State 
workforce official requested administrative reconsideration of the 
negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of Enesco, LLC, Gund Division, Distribution Center, Edison, New 
Jersey (subject firm). The determination was issued on August 27, 2010. 
The Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on September 15, 2010 (75 FR 56144). The workers are engaged 
in activities related to the supply of packaging and distribution 
services related to giftware 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 the supply of services like or directly competitive 
with the services performed by the workers or acquire these services 
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 services; and that the workers did not produce an 
article or supply a service 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 petitioner stated that the 
petition was filed on behalf of a worker who worked within a separate 
department at a separate location and that the services performed by 
the aforementioned department and location have shifted to a foreign 
country.
    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 18th day of October 2010.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
