Workers whose petitions have been denied by the U.S. Department of Labor may request administrative reconsideration of the U.S. Department of Labor's finding within 30 days after publication of the final determination in the Federal Register.

The request for reconsideration must be in writing, including the name of the company, the petition investigative number, and a description of the group of workers on whose behalf the petition was filed. It must also cite specific reasons why the workers consider the decision to be in error, either according to the facts, the interpretation of the facts, or the law itself. Requests for reconsideration should be mailed to the U.S. Department of Labor, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.

Workers may also file an appeal seeking judicial review of the U.S. Department of Labor's negative determination or re-determination within 60 days of publication of the denial in the Federal Register.
