On May 25, 2004, a Revised Determination on Reconsideration regarding the workers’ eligibility to apply for ATAA was issued. The Department’s Notice was published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2004 (69 FR 32046). At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company official stated that the petition was intended to cover workers at the Peshtigo and Oconto Falls, Wisconsin facilities. Information provided by the company official reveals that a significant proportion of workers at the Oconto Falls, Wisconsin facility were separated or threatened with separation during the relevant period and that the two Badger Paper Mills facilities operate as one manufacturing unit producing paper products. Further, new information provided by the company official reveal that a significant portion of workers at the Oconto Falls, Wisconsin facility are age fifty years or older, that workers possess skills which are not easily transferable to other jobs in the local area, and that conditions in the industry are adverse. Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include employees of Badger Paper Mills, Inc., Oconto Falls, Wisconsin. The amended notice applicable to TA–W–54,242 is hereby issued as follows: cprice-sewell on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES All workers of Badger Paper Mills, Inc., Peshtigo, Wisconsin (TA–W–54,242) and Badger Paper Mills, Inc., Oconto Falls, Wisconsin (TA–W–54,242A) who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 9, 2003, through March 22, 2006, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

United States Secretary of Labor, Court No. 05–00652. A negative determination regarding the subject workers’ eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) was issued on September 7, 2005. The determination stated that the investigation revealed that the skills of the worker group were easily transferable to other positions in the local commuting area. During the remand investigation, the Department contacted the human resources official at the subject firm for information related to the ATAA investigation. Information provided by this company official revealed that there were few available jobs in the local area and in the industry at the time of separation. At least five percent of the workforce at the subject firm is at least fifty years of age. Workers possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
