ICG Knott County Coal, LLC, a Subsidiary of ICG, Inc., Kite, 
Kentucky; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated May 6, 2013, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers'

[[Page 32464]]

eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable 
to workers and former workers of ICG Knott County Coal, LLC, a 
subsidiary of ICG, Inc., Kite, Kentucky (subject firm). The negative 
determination was issued on April 30, 2013. The workers' firm is 
engaged in activities related to the production of bituminous coal.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with the articles produced by the workers did not increase 
during the relevant period; neither the subject firm nor its major 
customers increased imports of articles like or directly competitive 
with the articles produced by the subject workers; the subject firm did 
not shift production of like or directly competitive articles to a 
foreign country, and did not acquire production of like or directly 
competitive articles from a foreign country; the subject firm is 
neither a Supplier nor Downstream Producer to a firm (or subdivision, 
whichever is applicable) that employed a group of workers who received 
a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 
U.S.C. 2272(a); and the subject firm has not been publically identified 
by name by the International Trade Commission as a member of a domestic 
industry in an investigation resulting in an affirmative finding of 
serious injury, market disruption, or material injury, or threat 
thereof.
    The request for reconsideration included new information regarding 
the articles produced by the petitioning worker group.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record, and will conduct further 
investigation to determine if workers have met 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 16th day of May, 2013.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
