workforce official (‘‘I started to work for 

M&L Manufacturing, Inc. on August of 

1990, but for some reason and without 

notification I started to receive my 

checks in 2005 under the name of The 

Jewelry Stream * * * I was under the 

impression that I had worked for the 

same company from 1990 to 2008.’’ 

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 petitioning workers (the 

newly clarified worker group, The 

Jewelry Stream, Los Angeles, California) 

meet the eligibility requirements of the 

Trade Act of 1974, as amended. 

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.

Algonac Cast Products, Inc., Algonac, 

MI; Notice of Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration 

By application dated October 25, 

2010, a worker requested administrative 

reconsideration of the negative 

determination regarding workers’ 

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers 

and former workers of Algonac Cast 

Products, Inc., Algonac, Michigan 

(subject firm). The determination was 

issued on September 24, 2010. The 

Department’s Notice of Determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 8, 2010 (75 FR 62427). The 

workers are engaged in activities related 

to the production of marine hardware 

(i.e. rudders, struts, stuffing boxes, 

rudder arm, rudder support, rudder 

clevis, etc.) and are not separately 

identifiable by article produced. 

The negative determination was based 

on the Department’s findings that the 

subject firm did not import or shift their 

production of marine hardware to a 

foreign country during the relevant 

period; that the customers did not 

increase their reliance on imported 

marine hardware while concurrently 

decreasing their purchases from the 

subject firm; that worker separations or 

threats of separation were not related to 

an increase in imports of marine 

hardware; and that the workers did not 

produce an article that was incorporated 

in the production of an article by a firm 

whose workers were certified eligible to 

apply for TAA. 

The request for reconsideration 

alleged that a lost bid with Sea Ray 

Boats Corporation contributed 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject firm. 

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 petitioning workers 

meet the eligibility requirements of the 

Trade Act of 1974, as amended. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs, (OWCP) 

administers the Longshore and Harbor 

Workers’ Compensation Act. The Act 

provides benefits to workers injured in 

maritime employment on the navigable 

waters of the United States or in an 

adjoining area customarily used by an 

employer in loading, unloading, 

repairing, or building a vessel. In 

addition, several acts extend the 

Longshore Act’s coverage to certain 

other employees. 

Title 20, CFR 702.317 provides for the 

referral of claims under the Longshore 

Act for formal hearings. This Section 

provides that before a case is transferred 

to the Office of Administrative Law 

Judges the district director shall furnish 

each of the parties or their 

representatives with a copy of a prehearing statement form. Each party 

shall, within 21 days after receipt of 

each form, complete it and return it to 

the district director. Upon receipt of the 

forms, the district director, after 

checking them for completeness and 

after any further conferences that, in 

his/her opinion, are warranted, shall 

transmit them to the Office of the Chief 

Administrative Law Judge with all 

available evidence which the parties 

intend to submit at the hearing. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through March 31, 

2011. 

II. Review Focus: The Department of 

Labor is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary
