Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 10, 2012 / Notices 21587 

With respect to Section 222(a)(2)(B) of 

the Act, the investigation revealed that 

the workers’ firm did not shift 

production of infrared and CO2 laser 

optics, and related materials (or like or 

directly competitive articles), to a 

foreign country, or acquire the 

production of such articles from a 

foreign country. 

With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of 

the Act, the investigation revealed that 

the subject firm is a Supplier to a firm 

that employed a group of workers who 

received a certification of eligibility 

under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 

U.S.C. 2272(a); however, the component 

parts supplied did not account for at 

least 20 percent of the production or 

sales or contribute importantly to 

workers’ separation or threat thereof. 

With respect to Section 222(b)(2) of 

the Act, the investigation revealed that 

the subject firm does not act as a 

Downstream Producer to a firm that 

employed a group of workers who 

received a certification of eligibility 

under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 

U.S.C. 2272(a). 

Finally, the group eligibility 

requirements under Section 222(e) of 

the Act have not been satisfied because 

the workers’ firm has not been publicly 

identified by the International Trade 

Commission as a member of a domestic 

industry in an investigation resulting in 

an affirmative finding of serious injury, 

market disruption, or material injury, or 

threat thereof. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner supplied new information 

regarding a possible decline in sales 

during the relevant period under 

investigation. 

The Department of Labor 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 to apply for 

TAA. 

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 27th day of 

March 2012.

issued a Certification of Eligibility to 

Apply for Worker Adjustment 

Assistance on February 25, 2011,

supplies/supports and operates as an 

extension of the Cheshire, Connecticut 

location of Pratt and Whitney, a

Both locations experienced worker 

separations during the relevant time
