DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-52,904]

 
York International Corporation, York, Pennsylvania; Amended 
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on October 30, 2003, applicable 
to workers of York International Corporation located in York, 
Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
November 28, 2003 (68 FR 66880).
    At the request of the petitioner, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm producing industrial 
large tonnage chillers.
    The review shows that the Department inadvertently omitted its 
findings regarding worker group eligibility to apply for Alternative 
Trade Adjustment Assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, 
as amended. In order for the Department to issue a certification of 
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of 
section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department determined in 
this case that the requirements of Section 246 were met.
    A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and 
possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions 
within the industry are adverse.
    Therefore, the Department is amending the certification to include 
eligibility for workers of the subject firm to apply for ATAA.

    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-52,904 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of York International Corporation, York, 
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after September 9, 2002 through October 30, 2005, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for alternative 
trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 
1974, as amended.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 2nd day of December 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
