Chrysler Financial Services Americas, LLC, a Subsidiary of Finco 
Intermediate Holding Co., LLC, Troy Customer Contact Center, Troy, 
Michigan; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated September 3, 2010, the petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The 
determination was issued on July 23, 2010. The Department's Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2010 
(75 FR 47635).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that there have not been increased imports of 
services like or directly competitive with the financial services 
supplied by the subject firm, and there has not been a shift in the 
supply of services by the firm to a foreign country. In addition, the 
subject firm is not a supplier or downstream producer to a firm that 
employed a worker group eligible to apply for TAA.
    The request for reconsideration states that ``the workers at 
Chrysler Financial Services, Troy, Michigan were engaged in activities 
that initiated the need to produce automotive vehicles and automotive 
vehicle parts * * * multiple production facilities within the Chrysler 
Group has lost production due to imports which resulted in the decrease 
in sales'' which contributed importantly to the workers' separations.
    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, 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 21st day of September 2010.
