The Basic Aluminum Castings Co., Cleveland, OH; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By application dated December 3, 2010, The International Union, 
United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of 
America, Region 2B, 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 Basic Aluminum Castings Co., Cleveland, Ohio (subject 
firm). The determination was issued on October 14, 2010. The 
Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on November 3, 2010 (75 FR 67773). Workers at the subject firm 
are engaged in employment related to the production of aluminum die 
castings.
    New information revealed that, during the period of investigation, 
imports of articles like or directly competitive aluminum die castings 
produced by the subject firm have increased. Specifically, the 
Department of Labor conducted a survey of the subject firm's major 
declining customer regarding their purchases of aluminum die castings 
during the relevant period. The survey revealed increased customer 
reliance on imported aluminum die castings.
    Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the 
increased imports of aluminum die castings by a customer of the subject 
firm contributed importantly to the worker group separations and sales/
production declines at the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of The Basic 
Aluminum Castings Co., Cleveland, Ohio, who are engaged in employment 
related to the production of aluminum die castings, 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 The Basic Aluminum Castings Co., Cleveland, 
Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after December 2, 2008, through two years from the date of this 
revised 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 21st day of January 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
