Long Elevator & Machine Company, Inc., Including Workers Whose 
Unemployment Insurance (UI) Wages Were Reported Through Kone, Inc., 
Riverton, IL; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application 
for Reconsideration

    By application dated April 18, 2012, a worker requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Long Elevator & Machine 
Company, Inc., including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) 
wages were reported through KONE Inc., Riverton, Illinois (subject 
firm). The determination was issued on March 22, 2012, and the Notice 
of determination was published in the Federal Register on April 10, 
2012 (77 FR 21590). The subject firm is engaged in activity related to 
the

production of elevator components and to the supply of elevator repair 
services (all related to the modernization and repair of elevator).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there was no shift in production of elevator 
components (or a like or directly competitive article), that neither 
the subject firm nor its declining customer increased imports, and that 
the subject firm was neither a supplier nor downstream producer to a 
TAA-certified firm.
    The request for reconsideration stated that the subject firm made 
not only elevator component parts and repaired elevators but also made 
complete elevators, and that the workers who produced the elevators are 
separately identifiable from the workers who supplied elevator repair 
services.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and will conduct further 
investigation to determine if the 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 21st day of May, 2012.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
