Graftech International Holdings Inc. Engineered Solutions 
Division, a Subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., Anmoore, 
West Virginia; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding 
Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated November 10, 2016, the Department of Labor 
(Department) received a request for administrative reconsideration from 
a company official of the Department's Notice of Termination of 
Investigation

[[Page 1362]]

regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 
applicable to workers and former workers of GrafTech International 
Holdings Inc., Engineered Solutions Division, a subsidiary of 
Brookfield Asset Management Inc., Anmoore, West Virginia (subject 
firm). The subject firm is engaged in activities related to the 
production of synthetic graphite articles, such as molds and crucibles, 
used in high temperature applications. The Notice was issued on 
November 4, 2016 and has yet to be published in the Federal Register.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration, the existing record, and the new and additional 
information provided by the company official, 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, 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 15th day of November 2016.
Del-Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
