[TA-W-72,950]


Pittsburgh Coatings, Inc., Ambridge, PA; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By application dated May 21, 2010, the Department of Labor 
(Department) received a request for administrative reconsideration of 
the Department's Notice of negative determination regarding workers' 
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The determination was issued on 
April 22, 2010. The Department's notice of determination was published 
in the Federal Register on May 20, 2010 (75 FR 28301). The workers were 
engaged in employment related to the production of painted and coated 
structural steel.
    The negative determination was based on the Department's findings 
that increased imports did not contribute importantly to worker 
separations at the subject firm and that no shift in production to a 
foreign country occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied 
additional information regarding the customers of the subject firm to 
supplement what had been gathered during the initial investigation.
    As a result of new and additional information obtained during the 
reconsideration investigation, the

[[Page 38147]]

Department has determined that, during the relevant period, a major 
declining customer of the subject firm had increased its imports of 
articles like or directly competitive with the painted and coated 
structural steel produced by the subject firm.
    The Department has also determined that the increased imports 
contributed importantly to worker group separations and subject firm 
sales and/or production declines.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of Pittsburgh Coatings, Inc., 
Ambridge, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment related to the 
production of coated and painted structural steel, meet the worker 
group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 
2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 2273, I 
make the following certification:

    All workers of Pittsburgh Coatings, Inc., Ambridge, 
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after November 23, 2008, through two years from the 
date of this certification, and all workers in the group threatened 
with total or partial separation from employment on date of 
certification through two years from the date of certification, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title 
II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 21st day of June 2010.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
