Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration; Tecumseh Products Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI

    By application dated August 18, 2011, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the termination of investigation 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(TAA) applicable to workers and former workers of Tecumseh Products 
Corporation, Ann Arbor, Michigan (subject firm). The termination of 
investigation was issued on July 1, 2011. The Department's Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on July 20, 2011 
(76 FR 43351). The workers are engaged in activities related to the 
production of refrigeration compressors.
    The termination was based on the Department's findings that there 
was not a valid worker group at the subject firm.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner stated that ``I 
do not know you are defining a `worker group', but the three of us 
worked in the North American Engineering Organization and Greg Cowen 
and Trina Higgins reported to me as part of the `Lead, Records, 
Standards and Systems Group.' '' The petitioner also included an 
organizational chart and an ``organization announcement'' (dated 
December 20, 2010) regarding a re-alignment.
    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 15th day of September, 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
