Penske Logistics LLC a Subsidiary of General Electric/Penske 
Corporation Including On-Site Leased Workers From Kelly Temporary 
Services and Manpower; El Paso, TX; Notice of Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated February 18, 2011, the petitioners requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Penske Logistics LLC, a 
subsidiary of General Electric/Penske Corporation, El Paso, Texas 
(subject firm). The determination was issued on January 7, 2011. The 
Department's Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on January 26, 2011 (76 FR 4729). The subject firm supplies 
warehousing services which includes storage, processing, and shipping 
services for the automotive industry.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that, during 
the period under investigation, subject firm sales and/or production 
did not decline during the relevant period and the subject firm did not 
shift to another country the supply of storage, processing and shipping 
services (or like or directly competitive services).
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioners alleged that 
``All departments have been impacted in the outsourcing of our work 
requirements into Mexico Delphi Plant locations'' and identified 
specific functions that have allegedly shifted abroad ``since 2009 
(maybe 2008)'' due to ``X-dock implementation needs into Mexico'' and 
specific locations in Mexico to where the services allegedly shifted--
``Mochis Sinaloa, Meoqui Chihuahua, Juarez Chih, and * * * Chihuahua 
Chihuahua who is currently on hold due to plant transitioning into 
Durango.''
    The Department has carefully reviewed the workers' 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 18th day of March, 2011.
