DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-59,463]

 
Ash Grove Cement Company Rivergate Lime Plant; Portland, OR; 
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration

    By application dated July 24, 2006, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's Notice of negative 
determination regarding the subject worker group's eligibility to apply 
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The Department's determination was issued on June 
12, 2006. The Department's Notice of determination was published in the 
Federal Register on July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40158).
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official alleges 
that the subject firm supplied calcium oxide to a TAA-certified 
company.
    The determination did not state whether the subject worker group is 
eligible to apply for TAA as workers of a secondarily-affected firm (a 
firm which supplied component parts for articles produced by a firm 
with a currently TAA-certified worker group).
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and has determined that the Department will conduct 
further investigation based on new information provided.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of August 2006.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
