[TA-W-74,549]


Algonac Cast Products, Inc., Algonac, MI; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 10, 2010, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of Algonac Cast Products, Inc., Algonac, Michigan 
(subject firm) to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). The 
Department's Notice was published in the Federal Register on November 
23, 2010 (75 FR 7145). Workers are engaged in employment related to the 
production of marine hardware and are not separately identifiable by 
article produced.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
additional and new information from the subject firm, conducted an 
expanded customer survey, and analyzed import data of like or directly 
competitive articles.
    Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or 
proportion of workers at the subject firm became totally or partially 
separated, or threatened with such separation.
    Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because subject firm sales and 
production decreased during 2009 from 2008 levels.
    Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because there were increased 
imports of articles like or directly competitive with marine hardware 
produced by the subject firm.
    Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the 
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group 
separations and sales/production declines at Algonac Cast Products, 
Inc., Algonac, Michigan.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers and former workers of Algonac 
Cast Products, Inc.,

[[Page 27669]]

Algonac, Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to the 
production of marine hardware, 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 Algonac Cast Products, Inc., Algonac, Michigan, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after August 18, 2009, 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 2nd day of May, 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
