[TA-W-54,658]

 
Whiting Manufacturing Company, Inc., Hazel Green, KY; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reconsideration Regarding Eligibility To Apply 
for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated May 17, 2004, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The certification of Trade Adjustment Assistance 
eligibility was signed on April 23, 2004. The Department's notice was 
published in the Federal Register on June 2, 2004 (69 FR 31137).
    The initial investigation determined that the workers possessed 
skills that are easily transferable.
    A careful review of new and existing information revealed that a 
significant number of workers in the subject company are age fifty or 
older and that the workers 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 Whiting Manufacturing Company, Inc., Hazel Green, 
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after April 1, 2003, through April 23, 2006, are eligible to 
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 
of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 7th day of June 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
