Gibraltar DFC Strip Steel LLC; Farrell,
PA; Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration
On May 21, 2007, the Department
issued an Affirmative Determination
Regarding Application on
Reconsideration applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 30, 2007 (72 FR 30031).
The previous investigation initiated
on February 22, 2007, resulted in a
negative determination issued on April
6, 2007, was based on the finding that
increased imports of cold rolled strip
steel did not contribute importantly to
worker separations or the decline in
sales or production at the subject firm.
Furthermore, there was no shift of
E:\FR\FM\22JNN1.SGM
22JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 120 / Friday, June 22, 2007 / Notices
production to a foreign country. The
denial notice was published in the
Federal Register on April 24, 2007 (72
FR 20370).
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided information
regarding customers of the subject firm.
The Department requested from a
company official an additional list of
declining customers of the subject firm.
A survey of these declining customers
revealed that import purchases of cold
rolled strip steel increased from 2005 to
2006 and during January through
February of 2007 when compared with
the same period of 2006. The increased
imports accounted for a significant
portion of the subject firm’s sales
decline during the relevant 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.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
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 Gibraltar DFC Strip
Steel LLC, Farrell, Pennsylvania,
contributed importantly to the total or
partial separation of workers and to the
declines in sales or production at that
firm. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following revised
determination:
‘‘All workers of Gibraltar DFC Strip Steel
LLC, Farrell, Pennsylvania, who became
totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 20, 2006
through two years from the date of this
certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to
apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.’’
