DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-82,113]


SGL Carbon, LLC Including Leased On-Site Worker of Reflex 
Staffing Services and Manpower, St. Marys, Pennsylvania; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 9, 2013, the International Union of 
Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers/
Communications Workers of America, Local 502, requested administrative 
reconsideration of the negative determination regarding workers' 
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable 
to workers and former workers of SGL Carbon, LLC, St. Marys, 
Pennsylvania (subject firm). The determination was issued on December 
14, 2012. The Department's Notice of determination was published in the 
Federal Register on January 4, 2013 (78 FR 771). The workers' firm is 
engaged in activities related to the production of graphite parts.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that, with respect to Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) of 
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, the subject firm has not experienced 
a decline in the sales or production of graphite parts during the 
relevant period.
    The request for reconsideration included information regarding 
possible increased imports.
    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 at the subject firm 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 25th day of February, 2013.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
