Notice of Determinations Regarding
Eligibility To Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance and Alternative
Trade Adjustment Assistance
[TA–W–63,278]
Wheeling Pittsburg Steel Corporation,
Allenport, PA; Notice of Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application
for Reconsideration
By application dated June 26, 2008,
United Steelworkers, Local Union 1187
requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of the subject firm. The
determination was issued on May 21,
2008. The Notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on
June 3, 2008 (73 FR 31716).
The initial investigation resulted in a
negative determination based on the
finding that imports of cold rolled sheet
coil did not contribute importantly to
worker separations at the subject firm
and no shift of production to a foreign
source occurred.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner provided a list of additional
customers of the subject firm and
requested to conduct a survey of these
customers.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974.
Conclusion
PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 11th day of
July 2008.

Adjustment Assistance.
