Huntington Foam LLC, Fort Smith, AR; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On August 8, 2012, the Department of Labor issued a Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration 
applicable to workers and former workers of Huntington Foam LLC, Fort 
Smith, Arkansas (subject firm). The workers are engaged in activities 
related to the production of expanded polystyrene shape molded parts 
(packaging and internal components for side-by-side refrigerators). The 
worker group does not include any on-site leased workers.
    Workers of the subject firm was previously certified eligible to 
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-73,292 
(certification expired on May 24, 2012).
    Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or 
proportion of the workers in the subject firm have become totally or 
partially separated, or are threatened with such separation.
    Based on information provided during the reconsideration 
investigation, the Department determines that worker separations at the 
subject firm are related to a shift in production of expanded 
polystyrene shape molded parts (or like or directly competitive 
articles) to a foreign country and that the shift in production 
contributed importantly to worker separations at the subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Huntington 
Foam LLC, Fort Smith, Arkansas, who were engaged in employment related 
to the production of expanded polystyrene shape molded parts, meet the 
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 
U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 
2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Huntington Foam LLC, Fort Smith, Arkansas who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
May 25, 2012, through two years from the date of certification, and 
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation 
from employment on the date of certification through two years from 
the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
