American Spring Wire Corporation, Kankakee, IL; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On October 7, 2010, the Department issued a Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of American Spring Wire Corporation, Kankakee, 
Illinois (subject firm) to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). 
The Department's Notice was published in the Federal Register on 
October 25, 2010 (75 FR 65516). The subject workers are engaged in 
employment related to the production of spring wire. The worker group 
does not include leased workers.
    New information obtained during the reconsideration investigation 
revealed that workers and former workers of

[[Page 21043]]

American Spring Wire Corporation, Kankakee, Illinois meet the criteria 
as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
    Criterion I has been met because a significant number or proportion 
of workers in the workers' firm were totally or partially separated, or 
were threatened with separation.
    Criterion II has been met because workers of subject firm produced 
and sold spring wire for a firm that employed a worker group eligible 
to apply for TAA and the spring wire was related to the article that 
was the basis for the TAA certification.
    Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by subject 
firm with the aforementioned firm, with respect to spring wire, 
contributed importantly to worker separations, or threat of 
separations, at the Kankakee, Illinois facility.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers and former workers of subject 
firm, who are engaged in employment related to the supply of spring 
wire, meet the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(c) 
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the 
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of American Spring Wire Corporation, Kankakee, 
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after December 17, 2008, through two years from the date of 
this revised certification, and all workers in the group threatened 
with total or partial separation from employment on date of 
certification through two years from the date of certification, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title 
II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 6th day of April, 2011.
 Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
