Barnes Aerospace, Ceramics Division, Windsor, CT; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated July 2, 2008, a petitioner requested
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on
June 10, 2008. The Notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on June 27, 2008 (73 FR 36576).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination
based on the finding that imports of multi-layer ceramic green sheet
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 subject firm's customers and alleged
that the subject firm shifted production to Taiwan.
    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 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 11th day of July 2008.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
