[TA-W-81,317]


Dana Holding Corporation, Power Technologies Group Division, 
Including On-Site Leased Workers From Manpower, Milwaukee, WI; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated June 28, 2012 (received on July 6, 2012), the 
United Autoworkers Union requested administrative reconsideration of 
the negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of Dana Holding Corporation, Power Technologies Group Division, 
Milwaukee, Wisconsin (subject firm). The negative determination was 
issued on April 30, 2012, and the Department's Notice of Determination 
will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that the subject firm did not shift production of 
gaskets and exhausts to a foreign country nor did the subject firm or 
its customers increase reliance on imports during the relevant period.
    The request for reconsideration alleged that increased aggregate 
imports of gaskets (and like and directly competitive articles) in 2011 
and 2012, loss of business with a firm that employed a worker group 
eligible to apply for TAA, and increased imports of finished articles 
containing foreign-produced component parts like or directly 
competitive with the gaskets and exhausts produced by workers at the 
subject firm, contributed importantly to worker separations at the 
subject firm.
    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 8th day of August, 2012.
 Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
