[TA-W-63,897]

 
IAC Canton, Inc., A Subsidiary of International Automotive 
Components Group, North America, Inc., Canton, OH; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated October 29, 2008, United Steelworkers of 
America AFL-CIO, Local 550-L 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 September 22, 2008. The 
Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on 
September 8, 2008 (73 FR 58982).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of rubber sheets, dash insulators, 
and all rubber floor mats 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 pertaining to a shift in subject plant 
production of rubber sheets, dash insulators, and all rubber floor mats 
to Canada.
    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 6th day of November 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
