DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-56,536, TA-W-56,536A, and TA-W-56,536B]

 
Butler Manufacturing Company, Subsidiary of Bluescope Steel, LTD, 
Buildings Division, Wall and Roof Panels Production, Galesburg, IL; 
Buildings Division, Trim and Components Production, Galesburg, IL; 
Buildings Division, Secondaries Production, Galesburg, IL; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application of April 1, 2005, members of the subject worker 
group requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply 
for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers of the subject 
firm. The negative determination was signed on March 2, 2005 and the 
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on April 
1, 2005 (70 FR 16847). The workers produced parts for pre-engineered 
metal buildings systems. Workers are separately identifiable by product 
line.
    The petition was denied because the subject firm did not shift 
production abroad and there were no increased imports by the subject 
company or its customers during the relevant period.
    The request for reconsideration alleges that the workers are not 
separately identifiable by product line, that the subject firm will 
shift of production to India and China in May/June 2005 and import pre-
engineered metal buildings from those facilities, that the shift to 
Mexico will continue, and that the subject firm has increased imports 
from Mexico, Australia, China and India.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the petitioner's request for 
reconsideration and shall further investigate the matter based on new 
information provided by the petitioners.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 6th day of April 2005.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
