[TA-W-80,430]


Product Dynamics LTD, Levittown, PA; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated September 28, 2011, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Product Dynamics, LTD, 
Levittown, Pennsylvania (Product Dynamics). The negative determination 
was issued on September 14, 2011. The Department's Notice of 
Determination will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that the subject firm did not produce an article. Further, the 
investigation revealed that the subject firm is not a Supplier or 
Downstream Producer to a firm that employed a group of workers who 
received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the 
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a).
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner alleges that 
workers at Product Dynamics are engaged in activities related to the 
production of toy prototypes (stating that workers ``machine, fabricate 
and sculpt various items to create prototype models, samples and 
patterns.'')
    The Department has carefully reviewed the petitioner's 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 3rd day of October, 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
