DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-73,458]

Chrysler Financial Services Americas, LLC, a Subsidiary of FinCo 
Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, Troy Customer Contact Center; Troy, MI; 
Notice of Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On September 21, 2010, the Department of Labor issued an 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for 
the workers and former workers of Chrysler Financial Services Americas, 
LLC, a subsidiary of FinCo Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, Troy Customer 
Contact Center, Troy, Michigan (subject firm). The Department's Notice 
was published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2010 (75 FR 
60138).
    The subject worker group is engaged in employment related to the 
supply of automotive-related financial services to dealers and 
consumers, including retail and wholesale financing, remarketing, and 
customer service and collections.
    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 findings that there have not been increased imports of 
services like or directly competitive with the financial services 
supplied by the subject firm, and there has not been a shift in the 
supply of services by the firm to a foreign country. In addition, the 
subject firm is not a supplier or downstream producer to a firm that 
employed a worker group eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA). For worker groups that supply a service instead of 
producing a component part, the term ``supplier'' means a firm that 
supplies directly to another firm services used in the production of 
articles or in the supply of services, as the case may be, that were 
the basis for the certification of eligibility.
    The request for reconsideration states that ``the workers at 
Chrysler Financial Services, Troy, Michigan were engaged in activities 
that initiated the need to produce automotive vehicles and automotive 
vehicle parts * * * multiple production facilities within the Chrysler 
Group has lost production due to imports which resulted in the decrease 
in sales.''
    Information collected during the initial investigation confirmed 
that another domestic entity would be the new financial arm for 
Chrysler, LLC, and that, as a result, certain functions performed by 
the subject workers have been realigned domestically.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
information that confirmed that the subject firm did not shift to nor 
acquire from a foreign country the supply of services like or directly 
competitive with the services supplied by the subject workers.
    Further, the Department determined that the services supplied by 
the subject workers were not used in the production of an article. 
Rather, the financial services supplied by the subject worker group are 
post-production.

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 Chrysler Financial Services Americas, 
LLC, a subsidiary of FinCo Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, Troy Customer 
Contact Center, Troy, Michigan.

    Signed in Washington, DC, on this 29th day of March, 2011.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
