[TA-W-39,273]

 
United States Steel, LLC, Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On February 11, 2002, the Department issued a Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice will soon be 
published in the Federal Register.
    The Department initially denied TAA to workers of United States 
Steel, LLC, Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, engaged in the production of 
tin mill products because the ``contributed importantly'' group 
eligibility requirement of section 222(3) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended, was not met.
    On reconsideration, the Department conducted further survey of the 
major customers of the subject firm regarding their purchases of tin 
mill products. The survey revealed that major customer significantly 
increased their imports, while decreasing their purchases from the 
subject firm during the relevant period.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with tin mill products, contributed importantly to 
the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial 
separation of workers of United States Steel, LLC, Fairless Hills, 
Pennsylvania. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:

    ``All workers of United States Steel, LLC, Fairless Hills, 
Pennsylvania engaged in the production of tin mill products who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
May 4, 2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed in Washington, DC this 11th day of March 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
