Day & Zimmermann, Inc.; Kansas Division; Parsons, Kansas; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated December 2, 2014, the Kansas Department of 
Commerce requested administrative reconsideration of the negative 
determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for worker 
adjustment assistance applicable to workers and former workers of Day & 
Zimmermann, Inc., Kansas Division, Parsons, Kansas. The determination 
was issued on November 24, 2014 and the Notice of Determination has not 
yet been published in the Federal Register.
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
    (3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a 
misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of 
the decision.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that imports of high explosive mortar rounds and 
demolition charges have not increased; the subject firm did not shift 
production to a foreign country; and the subject firm is not a Supplier 
or Downstream Producer to a firm that employed a group of workers who 
received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the 
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a).
    The request for reconsideration asserts that the subject firm was 
impacted by foreign competition and supplied new information.
    The Department of Labor has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

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 17th day of December, 2014.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
