Coastal Lumber Company, A/K/A Hazelton Wood Components Division, 
Bruceton Mills, WV; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated October 15, 2003, Construction Works of West 
Virginia, Inc., a Division of West Virginia State and Building 
Construction Trades Council and West Virginia AFL-CIO, requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The certification was signed on September 23, 2003. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2003 
(68 FR 66879).
    The initial certification was amended on October 24, 2003 to 
correctly identify the subject firm title name to read Coastal Lumber 
Company, a/k/a Hazelton Wood Components Division, Bruceton Mills, West 
Virginia. The notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation determined that less than five percent of 
the affected worker group was age fifty or older.

    The petitioner provided new information to show that at least five 
percent of the workforce at the subject from is at least fifty years of 
age. Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within 
the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:
    ``All workers at Coastal Lumber Company, a/k/a Hazelton Wood 
Components Division, Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after August 13, 2002 
through September 23, 2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also 
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under 
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC this 12th day of December 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
