GE Electric, Consumer & Industrial Division, Ravenna Lamp Plant, 
Ravenna, OH; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration of 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated August 17, 2004, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The negative determination was signed on July 29, 
2004, and published in the Federal Register on August 20, 2004 (69 FR 
51716).
    The workers of GE Electric, Consumer & Industrial Division, Ravenna 
Lamp Plant, Ravenna, Ohio, were certified eligible to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on July 29, 2004.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the 
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the 
local area.
    The petitioner alleges in the request for reconsideration that the 
skills of the workers at the subject firm are not easily transferable.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable. A significant number or 
proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over. 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 GE Electric, Consumer & Industrial Division, 
Ravenna Lamp Plant, Ravenna, Ohio, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after July 16, 2003, through July 
29, 2006, 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 15th day of September, 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
