Northern Industrial Erectors, Inc., Grand Rapids, Minnesota; 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated October 3, 2016, State Workforce Official 
requested administrative reconsideration of the negative determination 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for worker adjustment 
assistance applicable to workers and former workers of Northern 
Industrial Erectors, Inc., Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The determination 
was issued on September 9, 2016.
    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 there was no increase in imports by the 
workers' firm or its customers, nor was there a foreign shift or 
acquisition by the workers' or its customers. In addition, neither the 
workers' firm nor its customers reported imports of steel erection 
services like or directly competitive with steel erection services 
provided by the workers' firm. Furthermore, the workers' firm was not

a Downstream Producer or a Supplier to a firm in which the workers' 
firm's services supplied was related to the article the basis of the 
certification.
    The request for reconsideration asserts that the workers' firm 
should be considered a Downstream Producer.
    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 1st day of November 2016.
Hope D. Kinglock,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
