DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-59,078]

 
Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc. FFP Division Including On-Site 
Leased Workers of Express Personnel, High Point, NC; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application of May 11, 2006, a worker requested administrative 
reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance, applicable to workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on May 2, 2006. The Department's Notice of 
determination will soon be published in the Federal Register. Workers 
produce specialty wood adhesives and ancillary products.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that the subject firm did not increase imports of wood adhesives and 
ancillary products or shift production of wood adhesives and ancillary 
products abroad, and that the subject firm's major declining customers 
did not increase imports of specialty wood adhesives and ancillary 
products during the relevant period.
    The worker alleges that the subject firm supplied wood adhesive to 
customers affected by increased imports of wood furniture.
    Following the issuance of the negative determination, the 
Department received information which indicates that it is possible 
that information provided to the Department regarding subject firm 
sales and production may be inaccurate and/or incomplete.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and all available information, and has determined that 
the Department will conduct further investigation based on new 
information provided by the worker and the company official.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of May 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
