BILLING CODE 4410–18–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

[TA–W–63,410] 

Comau, Inc., Warren, Michigan; Notice 

of Revised Determination on 

Reconsideration 

By application of June 25, 2008, 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). 

The previous investigation resulted in 

a negative determination signed on May 

23, 2008, was based on the finding that 

during the relevant time period, the 

subject company did not separate or 

threaten to separate a significant 

number or proportion of workers, as 

required by Section 222 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. The denial notice was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 3, 2008 (73 FR 31716). 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner stated that even though 

employment at the subject facility had 

appeared to be increasing, the subject 

firm separated a significant amount of 

workers in the relevant period. 

A company official was contacted to 

verify whether there were separations at 

the subject facility since May 2007. The 

company official stated that total 

employment at Comau, Inc., Warren, 

Michigan increased from May, 2008 

over the corresponding May, 2007. 

However, the official also clarified that 

Comau, Inc. transferred several 

divisions from other Comau facilities to 

the subject firm during July and August 

2007. The official further stated that a 

significant number of employees have 

been separated from the subject facility 

since the transfer and there was a threat 

of further separations in May 2008. 

The investigation revealed that 

workers of the subject facility are 

engaged in engineering, project 

management, and financial functions. 

The company official stated that 

workers of the subject facility were in 

direct support of production at Comau, 

Inc., Novi, Michigan (TA–W–63,751), 

Comau Plymouth Engineering, 

Plymouth, Michigan (TA–W–63,446), 

Comau, Inc., Macomb Township, 

Michigan (TA–W–63,430), and Comau, 

Inc., Southfield, Michigan, (TA–W– 

61,580) during the relevant period. The 

above mentioned production facilities 

were certified eligible for adjustment 

assistance. 

In accordance with Section 246 the 

Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 

amended, the Department of Labor 

herein presents the results of its 

investigation regarding certification of 

eligibility to apply for alternative trade 

adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older 

workers. 

In order for the Department to issue 

a certification of eligibility to apply for 

ATAA, the group eligibility 

requirements of Section 246 of the 

Trade Act must be met. The Department 

has determined in this case that the 

requirements of Section 246 have been 

met. 

A significant number of workers at the 

firm are age 50 or over and possess 

skills that are not easily transferable. 

Competitive conditions within the 

industry are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the facts 

obtained in the investigation, I 

determine that increases of imports of 

articles like or directly competitive with 

articles produced by Comau, Inc. 

contributed importantly to the total or 

partial separation of workers at the 

subject firm and to the decline in sales 

or production at that firm or 

subdivision. In accordance with the 

provisions of the Act, I make the 

following certification: 

‘‘Workers of Comau, Inc., Warren, 

Michigan, who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after May 

19, 2007, through two years from the date of 

this certification, are eligible to apply for 

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 

the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to 

apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974.’’ 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of 

September 2008. 

Elliott S. Kushner, 

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance.
