Unimin Corporation, Gleason, Tennessee; Notice of Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated December 3, 2014, a worker requested 
administrative reconsideration of the negative determination regarding 
workers' eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance 
applicable to workers and former workers of Unimin Corporation, 
Gleason, Tennessee (subject firm). The determination was issued on 
November 7, 2014. The Department's Notice of Determination was 
published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2014 (79 FR 69535).
    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 the subject firm did not increase imports or 
shift production abroad.
    The request for reconsideration asserts that increased imports of 
articles directly competitive with the ``slurry'' articles produced at 
the subject firm contributed to worker separations and, consequently, 
that the Department's initial investigation was too limited in scope.
    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.
