JLG Industries, Inc., Access Division, A Subsidiary of Oshkosh 
Corporation, Hagerstown, MD; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated April 8, 2011, by a 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 JLG Industries, Inc., 
Access Division, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation, Hagerstown, 
Maryland (subject firm). The determination was issued on March 9, 2011. 
The Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on March 23, 2011 (76 FR 16450). The workers are engaged in 
activities related to the supply of design engineering, global 
procurement supply chain, and safety and reliability for the production 
of access equipment.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that the 
subject firm worker group did not separate or

threaten to separate a significant number or proportion of workers as 
required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. Further, 
the group eligibility requirements under Section 222(f) of the Act were 
not satisfied because the workers' firm has not been identified in an 
affirmative finding of injury by the U.S. International Trade 
Commission.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner stated that 
``Remaining employees were required to take a pay cut as well as a one 
week furlough without pay every three month * * * There were over 200 
employees at the JLG Hagerstown, Maryland facilities who were affected 
by this and 100 percent of these employees were required to participate 
in the wage reduction and furlough lay-offs although the furlough lay-
offs were scheduled at different times for different employees to 
maintain some semblance of a work force.''
    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 
petitioning 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 14th day of April 2011.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
