DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-64,396]

 
Cerro Flow Products, Inc., Sauget, IL; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated February 11, 2009, the United Steelworkers 
International Union (USW), District 7 requested administrative 
reconsideration of the negative determination regarding workers' 
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on 
January 14, 2009. The Notice of Determination was published in the 
Federal Register on February 2, 2009 (74 FR 5871).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of copper tubing did not contribute 
importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of 
production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding imports of copper tubing and alleged 
that the customers might have increased imports of copper tubing in the 
relevant period.
    The Department 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 10th day of June 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
