DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

[TA-W-51,099]

 
Allegheny Ludlum, Melt Shop and Rolling Mill Division, Houston, 
PA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    By application of June 6, 2003, the United Steel Workers of 
America, Local 7139-07, requested administrative reconsideration 
regarding the Department's Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to the workers of 
the subject firm.
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
issued on April 21, 2003, based on the finding that criterion 3(A) (the 
workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts it supplied for the 
primary firm accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or 
sales of the workers' firm) and 3(B)(a loss of business by the workers' 
firm with the primary firm contributed importantly to the workers' 
separation or threat of separation) have not been met. The denial 
notice was published in the Federal Register on May 7, 2003 (68 FR 
24503).
    Pursuant to the receipt of the request for reconsideration, and 
upon further review of the initial investigation, it has become 
apparent that Allegheny Ludlum, Melt Shop and Rolling Mill Division, 
Houston, Pennsylvania supplies component parts for stainless steel bar, 
rod and wire and a loss of business with a manufacturer (whose workers 
were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance) contributed 
importantly to the workers separation or threat of separation.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I 
determine that workers of Allegheny Ludlum, Melt Shop and Rolling Mill 
Division, Houston, Pennsylvania qualify as adversely affected secondary 
workers under section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974. In accordance with 
the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Allegheny Ludlum, Melt Shop and Rolling Mill 
Division, Houston, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after February 27, 2002 through two 
years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed in Washington, DC this 1st day of August 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
