Bruss North America Russell Springs, Kentucky; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    Following the issuance of a determination applicable to workers and 
former workers of Bruss North America, Russell Springs, Kentucky 
(subject firm), regarding their application for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA), the Department received new information relevant to 
the case. The initial determination was issued on May 28, 2010. The 
Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on June 16, 2010 (75 FR 34175). The subject workers are 
engaged in employment related to the production of automobile parts and 
component parts. The worker group does not include any on-site leased 
workers.
    New information obtained during a recent investigation for the 
subject firm revealed that there was a mistake of facts which were 
previously considered in the immediate case. Upon review, the 
Department has determined that the workers and former workers of Bruss 
North America, Russell Springs, Kentucky, who are engaged in employment 
related to the production of automobile parts and component parts, meet 
the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
    Criterion I has been met because a significant number or proportion 
of the workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially 
separated, or are threatened with separation.
    Criterion II has been met because workers of Bruss North America, 
Russell Springs, Kentucky produced and sold automobile parts and 
component parts for a firm that employed a worker group eligible to 
apply for TAA and the component parts are related to the article that 
was the basis for the TAA certification.
    Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by Bruss 
North America, Russell Springs, Kentucky with the aforementioned firm, 
with respect to automobile parts and components sold to the firm, 
contributed importantly to worker separations at Bruss North America, 
Russell Springs, Kentucky.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of the subject firm, who are 
engaged in employment related to the supply of automobile parts and 
components, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 
222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of 
the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:

    ``All workers of Bruss North America, Russell Springs, Kentucky, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after October 31, 2008, through two years from the date of this 
revised certification, and all workers in the group threatened with 
total or partial separation from employment on date of certification 
through two years from the date of certification, are eligible to 
apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.''

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 2nd day of February, 2011.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
