10300 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 10, 2009 / Notices 

in the Federal Register on January 14, 

2009 (74 FR 2139). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of color 

concentrates did not contribute 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject firm and no shift in production 

to a foreign source occurred. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information regarding a shift in 

production of color concentrates to 

Mexico. 

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 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 24th day of 

February 2009.

ME; Notice of Affirmative 

Determination Regarding Application 

for Reconsideration 

By application dated January 29, 

2009, the petitioner requested 

administrative reconsideration of the 

negative determination regarding 

workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (ATAA) applicable to 

workers and former workers of the 

subject firm. The determination was 

issued on January 2, 2009. The Notice 

of Determination was published in the 

Federal Register on January 26, 2009 

(74 FR 4464). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that sales and production at the 

subject firm increased during the period 

of January through November 2008, 

when compared to the same period in 

2007. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information indicating that sales and 

production at the subject facility 

declined during the relevant period and 

that the subject firm imported products 

like or directly competitive with the 

products manufactured 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 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.

Harman/Becker Automotive Systems, 

Inc., Including On-Site Leased Workers 

From Elwood Staffing, Account Temps 

and PMI, Currently Known as Spartan 

Staffing, Martinsville, IN; Amended 

Certification Regarding Eligibility To 

Apply for Worker Adjustment 

Assistance and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance 

In accordance with Section 223 of the 

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 

U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the 

Department of Labor issued a 

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 

Worker Adjustment Assistance and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance on July 20, 2007, applicable 

to workers of Harman/Becker 

Automotive Systems, Inc., Martinsville, 

Indiana. The notice was published in 

the Federal Register on August 2, 2007 

(72 FR 42436). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the certification 

for workers of the subject firm. The 

workers were engaged in the production 

of automotive speakers. 

New information shows that workers 

leased from Elwood Staffing, Account 

Temps and PMI, currently known as 

Spartan Staffing were employed on-site 

at the Martinsville, Indiana location of 

Harman/Becker Automotive Systems, 

Inc. The Department has determined 

that these workers were sufficiently 

under the control of Harman/Becker 

Automotive Systems, Inc. to be 

considered leased workers. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include workers leased 

from Elwood Staffing, Account Temps 

and PMI, currently known as Spartan 

Staffing, working on-site at the 

Martinsville, Indiana location of the 

subject firm. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers 

employed at Harman/Becker 

Automotive Systems, Inc. who were 

adversely affected by a shift in 

production of automotive speakers to 

Mexico. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–61,780 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of Harman/Becker Automotive 

Systems, Inc., including on-site leased 

workers from Elwood Staffing, Account 

Temps and PMI, currently known as Spartan 

Staffing, Martinsville, Indiana, who became 

totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after June 28, 2006 

through July 20, 2009, are eligible to apply 

for adjustment assistance under Section 223 

of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible 

to apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of 

February 2009.
