Invista S.A.R.L.; Apparel Division; A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of 
Koch Industries, Inc.; Waynesboro, Virginia; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated December 14, 2014, United Workers, Inc., 
International Brotherhood of Dupont Workers, Local 381, requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
applicable to workers and former workers of INVISTA S.a.r.l., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc., Waynesboro, Virginia. The 
determination was issued on November 14, 2014 and the Notice of 
Determination was published in the Federal Register on December 10, 
2014 (79 FR 73339).
    Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under 
the following circumstances:
    (1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered 
that the determination complained of was erroneous;
    (2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based on 
a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or
    (3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a 
misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of 
the decision.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the findings that worker separations were unrelated to a shift 
in production to a foreign country or to imports by the subject firm or 
its customers.
    The request for reconsideration asserts that the workers at the 
subject firm have been impacted by a continuous transfer of production 
to foreign countries.
    The Department of Labor 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 15th day of January, 2015.
Michael W. Jaffe,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
