[TA-W-41,222]

 
Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC, Piketon, Ohio; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Remand

    The United States Court of International Trade (USCIT) granted the 
Secretary of Labor's motion for a voluntary remand for further 
investigation in Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy 
International Union, Local 5-689 v. Elaine Chao, U.S. Secretary of 
Labor, No. 03-00356.
    The Department's initial determination regarding Bechtel Jacobs 
Company, LLC (hereafter ``Bechtel Jacobs'') was issued on July 1, 2002 
and published in the Federal Register on July 18, 2002 (67 FR 47400). 
The determination was based on the finding that the workers did not 
produce an article within the meaning of section 222 of the Trade Act 
of 1974. The workers provided environmental management and site 
restoration services.
    By letter dated August 15, 2002, the petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). 
The reconsideration determination was issued on March 18, 2003 and 
published in the Federal Register on April 7, 2003 (67 FR 16837). The 
determination was based on the findings that the workers did not 
produce an article within the meaning of section 222 of the Trade Act 
and that the workers were not service providers in direct support of a 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certified firm.
    The remand investigation revealed that Bechtel Jacobs has a 
contract to provide on site services with a TAA certified facility 
(United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC), Piketon, Ohio, TA-W-
41,285). The USEC, Piketon, Ohio facility was certified for TAA on June 
27, 2002.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on the 
current remand, I conclude that the worker group provided services at 
USEC, Piketon, Ohio, the worker group is co-located with a trade-
certified firm, and there is a contract between the subject firm and 
the trade-certified firm. In accordance with the provisions of the 
Trade Act, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC, Piketon, Ohio, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
March 14, 2001, through two years from the issuance of this revised 
determination, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of February, 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
