DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-72,041]


Aleris Blanking and Rim Products, Inc., a Division of Aleris 
International, Inc., Terre Haute, IN; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated January 29, 2010, the petitioner 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. The 
determination was issued on December 10, 2009 and the Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on January 25, 2010 
(75 FR 3932).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that imports of aluminum blanks and hoops 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 customers of the subject firm.
    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

[[Page 9437]]

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 18th day of February, 2010.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
