State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit 
Number SO4T60318C-01, Manokotak, AK; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    By letter of April 25, 2003, the company official requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility for Workers under State of Alaska 
Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit Number SO4T60318C, 
Manokotak, Alaska, to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2003 (68 FR 
17830).
    The initial petition was denied because there had been no 
employment decline. The company official however has provided 
information showing that all workers producing salmon were permanently 
separated from employment with the subject firm.
    The subject firm supplied salmon to a processor whose workers were 
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance. The loss 
of business with the salmon processor contributed importantly to worker 
separations under State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission 
Permit Number SO4T60318C-01, Manokotak, Alaska.
    New information provided by the official of the firm shows that the 
permit was transferred to another salmon producer. According to the 
Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, the permit number for the 
subject firm has a suffix of 01 (SO4T60318C-01). Since the workers 
under the State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Permit 
Number SO4T60318C-01, Manokotak, Alaska, are permanently separated from 
employment and the permit was transferred to another salmon producer, 
the Department has determined that this certification shall not extend 
to the successor firm which is assigned permit number SO4T60318C-02.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the reconsideration, 
I determine that workers covered by State of Alaska Commercial 
Fisheries Entry Commission, Permit Number SO4T60318C-01, Manokotak, 
Alaska, 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 
revised determination:

    ``All workers of State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry 
Commission, Permit Number SO4T60318C-01, Manokotak, Alaska, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 21, 2002, through two years from the date of 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 December, 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
