DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-60,825]

 
Golden Ratio Woodworks; Emigrant, MT; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    On May 27, 2007, the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) received 
a request for administrative reconsideration of the Department's Notice 
of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker 
Adjustment Assistance, applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm. The negative determination was issued on May 1, 2007. On 
May 17, 2007, the Department's Notice of Determination was published in 
the Federal Register (72 FR 27855). Workers produce massage tables, 
chairs, and accessories.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that the subject firm did not shift production abroad and that the 
subject firm's major declining customers' imports did not contribute 
importantly to workers' separations.
    In the request for reconsideration, the workers alleged that 
increased subject firm imports and increased foreign competition 
contributed to workers' separations.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the workers' request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation.

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 11th day of June 2007.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer,Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
