[TA-W-54,667]
Terra Nitrogen Corporation, a Subsidiary of Terra Industries,
Inc., Blytheville, AK; Notice of Revised Determination on
Reconsideration Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance
By letter dated April 29, 2004, a company official requested
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA). The certification of Trade Adjustment Assistance
eligibility was signed on April 15, 2004. The Department's notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2004 (69 FR 29578).
The initial investigation determined that the workers possessed
skills that are easily transferable.
New information provided by the company official revealed that the
workers possess skills that are not easily transferable. A significant
number of workers in the subject company are age fifty or older and
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 of Terra Nitrogen Corporation, a Subsidiary of Terra
Industries, Inc., Blytheville, Arkansas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 2, 2003,
through April 15, 2006, are eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, DC, this 7th day of June 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
