Day & Zimmermann, Inc., Kansas Division, Parsons, Kansas; Notice 
of Negative Determination on Reconsideration

    On December 17, 2014, the Department of Labor issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of Day & Zimmermann, Inc., Parsons, Kansas. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2014 (79 
FR 78911).
    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 import high 
explosive mortar rounds and demolition charges or shift production to a 
foreign country of such articles.
    In the request for reconsideration, the Kansas Department of 
Commerce alleged workers at the subject firm had been impacted by 
foreign competition as production that could have taken place at the 
subject firm had instead been awarded to a firm in Canada.
    According to 29 CFR 90.2, increased imports means that imports have 
increased either absolutely or relative to domestic production compared 
to a representative base period. The representative base period shall 
be one year consisting of the four quarters immediately preceding the 
date which is twelve months prior to the date of the petition. This 
petition was filed in October 2014. Therefore, the period under 
investigation is 2012, 2013,

[[Page 14413]]

January through September 2013, and January through September 2014.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department collected 
additional information from the subject firm and the customer of the 
subject firm.
    The information obtained confirmed that neither the subject firm 
nor its customer increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with high explosive mortar rounds and demolition charges. 
Additionally, the production of such articles did not shift to a 
foreign country in the period under investigation.
    Therefore, after careful review of the request for reconsideration, 
the Department determines that 29 CFR 90.18(c) has not been met.

Conclusion

    After careful review, I determine that the requirements of Section 
222 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272, have not been met and, therefore, deny 
the petition for group eligibility of Day & Zimmermann, Inc., Parsons, 
Kansas, to apply for adjustment assistance, in accordance with Section 
223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273.

    Signed in Washington, DC on this 26th day of February 2015.

Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
