Gehl Company; West Bend, WI; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    On August 2, 2006, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers 
and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on August 11, 2006 (71 FR 46243-46244).
    The previous investigation initiated on April 11, 2006, resulted in 
a negative determination issued on June 7, 2006, based on the finding 
that imports of agricultural implements did not contribute importantly 
to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to 
a foreign source occurred. The denial notice was published in the 
Federal Register on July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40160).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the company official 
supplied additional information. Upon further review of the initial 
investigation and contact with subject firm's company official, the 
Department conducted additional survey of subject firm's declining 
customers. The survey revealed that subject firm customers increased 
their reliance on import purchases of agricultural implements during 
the relevant period. The investigation also revealed that sales and 
production at the subject firm declined during the relevant time 
period.
    In accordance with section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results 
of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply 
for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
    In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility 
to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of section 246 of 
the Trade Act must be met. The Department has determined in this case 
that the requirements of section 246 have been met.

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 increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced at Gehl Company, West Bend, 
Wisconsin, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or 
production and to the total or partial separation of workers at the 
subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the 
following certification:

    All workers of Gehl Company, West Bend, Wisconsin, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 10, 
2005 through two years from the date of this certification, are

Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for alternative trade 
adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
