DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Administration 

[TA–W–85,674] 

Levi Strauss & Co., Eugene, Oregon; 

Notice of Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration 

By application dated on February 6, 

2015, a state workforce official 

requested administrative 

reconsideration of the negative 

determination regarding workers’ 

eligibility to apply for worker 

adjustment assistance applicable to 

workers and former workers of Levi 

Strauss & Company, Eugene, Oregon. 

The determination was issued on 

January 14, 2015 and the Notice of 

Determination was published in the 

Federal Register on February 18, 2015 

(80 FR 8692). 

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 misinterpretation of facts or of 

the law justified reconsideration of the 

decision. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

findings that worker separations at Levi 

Strauss & Co., Eugene, Oregon are not 

attributable to increased imports of 

articles or a shift in production of 

articles to a foreign country. 

The request for reconsideration 

asserts that although the workers are 

engaged in service-related activities, the 

workers perform production forecasting 

activities and order management 

support of Levi Strauss’ production of 

clothing and apparel. The 

reconsideration application concludes 

that both activities drive production and 

has been shifted to a foreign country. 

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 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

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 10th day of 

March 2015.

Assistance.
