[TA-W-64,389]

 
Schulmanm, Inc. Polybatch Color Center, Sharon Center, OH; Notice 
of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application received on February 4, 2009, the petitioner 
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 December 22, 2008. The Notice of Determination was published

[[Page 10300]]

in the Federal Register on January 14, 2009 (74 FR 2139).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of color concentrates did not 
contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no 
shift in production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding a shift in production of color 
concentrates to Mexico.
    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 24th day of February 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
