Fasco, a Division of Regal Beloit Corporation, Including On-Site 
Leased Workers From Penmac Personnel Services, Eldon, MI; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated August 30, 2012, workers requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Fasco, a division of Regal 
Beloit Corporation, Eldon, Missouri (Fasco). The determination was 
issued on August 7, 2012. The Department's Notice of determination was 
published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2012 (77 FR 51066).
    Fasco is a warehouse and distribution center for electric motors. 
The subject worker group includes workers engaged in activities related 
to the supply of warehousing and distribution of electric motors, as 
well as engineering, customer service and information technology 
services. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Penmac 
Personnel Services.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there were no shifts to/acquisition from a 
foreign country by Fasco in the supply of services like or directly 
competitive with those supplied by the subject workers; that there were 
no increased imports of services like or directly competitive with 
those supplied by the subject workers; that Fasco is neither a Supplier 
to nor a Downstream Producer of a firm that employed a worker group 
eligible to apply for TAA; and that the workers of Fasco have not met 
the criteria set forth in Section 222(e) of the Trade Act, as amended.
    The request for reconsideration states that workers of the 
Engineering Services Department provide engineering

services to both ``the Fasco division'' and the ``Fort Wayne Genteq 
division'' of Regal Beloit Corporation. Support material provided by 
the workers alleges that services supplied by the Engineering Services 
Department in support of production in Mexico are shifting to Mexico 
and that requisition engineering work is shifting to India.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and will conduct further 
investigation to clarify the subject worker group and to determine if 
workers have met 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 14th day of September, 2012.
 Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
