    On August 21, 2008, the Department of Labor (Department) received a 
request for administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative 
determination regarding eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers and former workers 
of the subject firm.
    On July 18, 2008, the Department issued a certification regarding 
the subject workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA) and a negative determination regarding their 
eligibility to apply for ATAA. The Department's Notice of determination 
was published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2008 (73 FR 44283). 
The ATAA investigation determined that, although the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferrable and a significant number of 
workers in the workers' firm are 50 years of age or older, conditions 
within the chemical industry are not adverse.
    A Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration, applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm, was issued on August 26, 2008, and will soon be published 
in the Federal Register.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
new information which indicated that employment related to the chemical 
industry in the state of West Virginia and in the county in which the 
subject firm resides has declined in the relevant time period and that 
the employment in the chemical industry is projected to decrease in the 
local (state and county) economies.

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 
revised determination:

    All workers of Union Carbide Corporation, a Subsidiary of Dow

or partially separated from employment on or after May 5, 2007 
through July 18, 2010, are eligible to apply for alternative trade 
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
