Western Digital Technologies, Inc., 

Coporate Headquaters/Hard Drive 

Development Division, Lake Forest, 

CA; Notice of Negative Determination 

on Reconsideration 

On October 7, 2010, the Department 

of Labor issued an Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration for the workers and 

former workers of Western Digital 

Technologies, Inc., Corporate 

Headquarters/Hard Drive Development 

Division, Lake Forest, California 

(Western Digital Technologies). The 

Department’s Notice was published in 

the Federal Register on October 25, 

2010 (75 FR 65517). The subject workers 

supply engineering (development) 

services in support of hard drive (also 

known as disk drive) manufacturing. 

The initial negative determination 

was based on the Department’s findings 

that that the subject firm did not 

increase imports of like or directly 

competitive services and did not shift to 

a foreign country the supply of these 

services. The investigation also revealed 

that the subject firm does not supply 

services that were directly used in the 

production of an article by a firm that 

employed a worker group eligible to 

apply for TAA. Because the services 

were supplied internally, no customer 

survey was conducted. 

The request for reconsideration 

alleges that increased imports of articles 

that were produced directly using the 

services supplied by the subject workers 

contributed importantly to separations 

at the subject firm. 

Information obtained during the 

reconsideration investigation confirmed 

that, during the relevant period, the 

workers’ firm did not shift to a foreign 

country the supply of services like or 

directly competitive with the 

engineering services supplied by the 

workers nor has there has been an 

acquisition by the subject firm from a 

foreign country of like or directly 

competitive services; that the subject 

firm did not increase services like or 

directly competitive with the 

engineering services supplied by the 

workers; and the subject firm did not 

increase imports of articles that were 

produced directly using services 

supplied by the subject workers. 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration, I affirm the 

original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

worker adjustment assistance for 

workers and former workers of Western 

Digital Technologies, Inc., Corporate 

Headquarters/Hard Drive Development 

Division, Lake Forest, California. 

Signed in Washington, DC, on this 4th day 

of February, 2011.

General Motors Company, Pontiac 

Assembly; Pontiac, MI; Notice of 

Negative Determination on 

Reconsideration 

On October 7, 2010, the Department 

of Labor (Department) issued an 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration for the 

workers and former workers of General 

Motors Company, Pontiac Assembly, 

Pontiac, Michigan (GM–Pontiac). The 

Department’s Notice of determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65513). 

Workers at GM–Pontiac are engaged in 

employment related to the production of 

the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado 

vehicles. 

Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c), 

reconsideration may be granted under 

the following circumstances: 

(1) If it appears on the basis of facts 

not previously considered that the 

determination complained of was 

erroneous; 

(2) if it appears that the determination 

complained of was based on a mistake 

in the determination of facts not 

previously considered; or 

(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying 

Officer, a mis-interpretation of facts or 

of the law justified reconsideration of 

the decision. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that there was no increase in 

imports by the subject firm or its 

customers or a shift to/acquisition from 

a foreign country by the workers’ firm 

of articles like or directly competitive 

with the automobiles produced by the 

workers. The investigation also revealed 

that the workers did not produce a 

component part that was used by a firm 

that both employed workers eligible to 

apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

and directly incorporated the 

component parts into the article that 

was the basis for the TAA certification. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

International Union of United 

Automobile, Aerospace, and 

Agricultural Implement Workers of 

America (UAW) stated that production 

of standard cab and extended cab GMC 

Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado vehicles 

shifted to an affiliated GM facility in 

Mexico (‘‘Pontiac Assembly ceased 

producing * * * production from 

Pontiac * * * shifted, at least in part, to 

Silao, Mexico.’’ 

Information obtained during the 

reconsideration investigation confirmed 

that the subject firm did not shift to/ 

acquire from an affiliated facility in 

Mexico or any other foreign country the 

production of standard cab and 

extended cab GMC Sierra and Chevrolet 

Silverado vehicles (or like or directly 

competitive articles). The company 

official also confirmed that production 

of the aforementioned vehicles was 

shifted to affiliated locations within the 

United States. 

Conclusion 

After reconsideration, I affirm the 

original notice of negative 

determination of eligibility to apply for 

worker adjustment assistance for 

workers and former workers of General 

Motors, Pontiac Assembly, Pontiac, 

Michigan. 

Signed in Washington, DC, on this 4th day
