Cerro Flow Products, Inc., Sauget, IL; 

Notice of Affirmative Determination 

Regarding Application for 

Reconsideration 

By application dated February 11, 

2009, the United Steelworkers 

International Union (USW), District 7 

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 14, 

2009. The Notice of Determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 2, 2009 (74 FR 5871). 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

negative determination based on the 

finding that imports of copper tubing 

did not contribute importantly to 

worker separations at the subject firm 

and no shift of production to a foreign 

source occurred. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner provided additional 

information regarding imports of copper 

tubing and alleged that the customers 

might have increased imports of copper 

tubing in the relevant period. 

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 10th day of 

June 2009.

Weather Shield Manufacturing, Inc., 

Corporate Office, Medford, WI; Notice 

of Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated May 26, 2009, 

petitioners requested administrative 

reconsideration of the Department’s 

negative determination regarding 

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 denial 

notice was signed on April 29, 2009 and 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 18, 2009 (74 FR 23214). 

The negative determination was based 

on the Department’s findings that 

imports of windows did not contribute 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject facility and there was no shift of 

production to a foreign country. The 

‘‘contributed importantly’’ test is 

generally demonstrated through a 

survey of the workers’ firm’s declining 

domestic customers. The survey of the 

major declining customers revealed no 

increasing imports of windows in 2008 

when compared with 2007. The subject 

firm did not import windows during the 

relevant period. 

The petitioner alleged that Weather 

Shield has experienced declines in sales 

on the corporate-wide scale throughout 

the United States. 

The petition was filed specifically for 

the workers of the Weather Shield 

Manufacturing, Inc., Corporate Office in 

Milford, Wisconsin. The Department 

determined that workers of the subject 

firm are engaged in support functions 

such as administrative, human 

resources, accounting, sales, and 

marketing operations. It was also 

revealed that the workers of the subject 

firm support production of windows at 

various Weather Shield Manufacturing 

facilities. The Department has 

conducted investigation to determine 

there were shifts in production of 

windows from the production facilities 

to foreign countries, or whether imports 

of windows contributed importantly to 

worker separations. The investigation 

revealed that none of the production 

facilities which the workers of the 

subject firm support are import 

impacted and there was no shift in 

production from these facilities to a 

foreign country. 

A careful review of previouslysubmitted material shows that one of 

the facilities supported by workers of 

the Weather Shield Manufacturing, Inc., 

Corporate Office in Milford, Wisconsin, 

may have produced articles in addition 

to windows. Therefore, the Department 

will conduct further investigation to 

determine if the 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. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of
