ABB, Inc., Lewisburg, WV; Notice of Revised Determination of 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on Reconsideration

    By letter dated October 10, 2006, a representative of the 
Maintenance Workers Local Union, No. 1182, Laborers International Union 
of North America (Union), requested administrative reconsideration 
regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA). The 
certification for Trade Adjustment Assistance was signed on September 
28, 2006. The Notice of determination was published in the Federal 
Register on October 16, 2006 (71 FR 60762).
    The determination stated that a significant number of workers in 
the workers' firm are not 50 years of age or older.
    The Union asserts that a significant number of workers in the 
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older and provided a list of 
workers and their birthdates as support documentation.
    A careful review of the Union's submissions and previously 
submitted documents reveal that at least five percent of the workforce 
at the subject from is at least fifty years of age. The workers in the 
workers' firm 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 of ABB, Inc., Lewisburg, West Virginia, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 
28, 2005 through September 28, 2008, 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 25th day of October 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
