DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training 

Administration 

[TA–W–55,175] 

Levi Strauss and Company, Knoxville 

Area Office, Knoxville, TN; Notice of 

Negative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated August 27, 2004, 

a petitioner requested administrative 

reconsideration of the Department’s 

negative determination regarding 

eligibility for workers and former 

workers of the subject firm to apply for 

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (ATAA). The denial notice 

applicable to workers of Levi Strauss 

and Company, Knoxville Area Office, 

Knoxville, Tennessee was signed on 

July 27, 2004, and published in the 

Federal Register on August 10, 2004 (69 

FR 48530). 

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 TAA/ATAA petition was denied 

because the petitioning workers did not 

produce an article within the meaning 

of Section 222 of the Act. The 

Department determined that the subject 

worker group process sales orders. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioners contend that the Department 

erred in its interpretation of the work 

performed at the subject facility. The 

petitioners state that the subject worker 

group does not process sales orders, but 

instead work in the subject company’s 

Product Integrity Raw Material Quality 

Division and the Technical Services 

portion of the Customer Fulfillment 

Division. 

The petitioners also describe several 

functions performed by the subject 

worker group: processing and resolving
