[TA-W-70,910]

 
Sypris Technologies, Sypris Solutions Division, Kenton, OH; 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application sent to this office on March 19, 2010, the United 
Steel Workers, Local 1-109, 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 Notice of determination was issued on 
February 18, 2010, and was published in the Federal Register on March 
12, 2010 (75 FR 11925). The workers produce trailer axels.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that, during 
the relevant period, there was no increase in imports of articles like 
or directly competitive with the trailer axles produced by the subject 
firm, and no shift to/acquisition from a foreign country by the subject 
firm of articles like or directly competitive with trailer axles. The 
investigation also revealed that the subject firm did not supply a 
component part to a firm that employed a worker group eligible to apply 
for TAA and directly incorporated the component part into the finished 
article that was the basis for the TAA certification.
    The request for reconsideration alleges that the subject firm used 
to manufacture ``drive axels housings, steering arms, brake shoes and 
many other components in the heavy truck industry'' in addition to 
trailer axels.
    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.
