[TA-W-73,301]


Shieldalloy Metallurgical Corporation, A Subsidiary of AMG, 
Newfield, NJ; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application 
for Reconsideration

    By application dated August 29, 2010, a worker requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm.

[[Page 65516]]

The determination was issued on July 30, 2010, and the Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2010 
(75 FR 49532). The workers provide storage services.
    The negative determination was based on the finding that a shift of 
production to Canada in 2006 did not contribute importantly to 
separations at the subject firm because, during the period of the 
investigation, the subject firm did not produce an article; rather, the 
subject firm provided storage services for other subsidiaries of AMG, 
the parent company, and those storage services were shifted to an 
affiliate domestic facility. In addition, the subject firm did not 
supply services to a firm that employed a worker group that is 
currently eligible to apply for TAA.
    The request for reconsideration alleges that the workers did not 
supply the services identified in the determination. The worker also 
states that the subject firm is in the process of permanently 
decommissioning and shifted operations to various facilities throughout 
the United States as well as Canada, Brazil, England, and 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, as 
amended.

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 7th day of October 2010.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
