Automotive Components Holdings, LLC, A Subsidiary of Ford Motor 
Company, Saline Plant Division, Saline, MI; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application sent to this office on April 8, 2010, the United 
Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America 
(UAW), Local 1124, 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 February 
19, 2010, and the Notice of Determination was published in the Federal 
Register on March 12, 2010 (75 FR 11925). The workers produce interior 
automotive components.
    The negative determination was based on the findings that neither a 
significant number nor proportion of workers at the subject facility 
was totally or partially separated, or threatened with such separation, 
during the relevant period.
    The UAW asserts that the Department has misinterpreted the statute 
and states that ``as many as 830 Visteon workers were notified that 
they would be replaced'' and asserts that about 1,800 workers were 
employed 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, 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 7th day of October 2010.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
