supply from a foreign location like or
directly competitive services while
decreasing services supplied within the
United States. The request for
reconsideration included new
information in support of the
allegations.
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
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.

Fisher and Ludlow A Nucor Company
Saegertown, Pennsylvania; Notice of
Affirmative Determination Regarding
Application for Reconsideration
By application dated May 2, 2014, a
representative of United Steelworkers,
District 10, requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA)
applicable to workers and former
workers of Fisher and Ludlow, a Nucor
Company, Saegertown, Pennsylvania.
The determination was issued on April
8, 2014 and the Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the
Federal Register on April 29, 2014 (79
FR 24018).
The group eligibility requirements for
workers of a firm under Section
246(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(III) The competitive conditions within the
workers’ industry (i.e., conditions within the
industry are adverse).
The negative determination for ATAA
was based on the Department’s findings
that Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) was not
been met because the workers in the
workers’ firm possess skills that are
easily transferrable and Section
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) was not been met
because conditions within the workers’
industry are not adverse.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c)
reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts not
previously considered that the determination
complained of was erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination
complained of was based on a mistake in the
determination of facts not previously
considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying
Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of the
law justified reconsideration of the decision.
The request for reconsideration
asserts that the workers in the workers’
firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable and that conditions within
the workers’ industry are adverse. The
request provides facts not previously
considered to support the assertions.
The Department of Labor 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, as amended.
Conclusion
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.

workers’ firm must have decreased
absolutely, AND
(ii) imports of articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by such
firm or subdivision have increased; and
(iii) the increase described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’
separation or threat of separation and to the
decline in the sales or production of such
firm or subdivision.
(B) Shift in Production Path:
(i) There has been a shift in production by
such workers’ firm or subdivision to a foreign
country of articles like or directly
competitive with articles which are produced
by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers’
firm has shifted production of the articles is
a party to a free trade agreement with the
United States;
(II) the country to which the workers’ firm
has shifted production of the articles is a
beneficiary country under the African
Growth and Opportunity Act, or the
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act; or

Fisher and Ludlow A Nucor Company Saegertown, Pennsylvania;
Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for
Reconsideration
By application dated May 2, 2014, a representative of United
Steelworkers, District 10, requested administrative reconsideration of
the negative determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of Fisher and Ludlow, a Nucor Company, Saegertown,
Pennsylvania. The determination was issued on April 8, 2014 and the
Department's Notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on April 29, 2014 (79 FR 24018).
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if the
following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the workers' firm
are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).
The negative determination for ATAA was based on the Department's
findings that Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) was not been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are easily
transferrable and Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) was not been met
because conditions within the workers' industry are not adverse.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under
the following circumstances:
(1) If it appears on the basis of facts not previously
considered that the determination complained of was erroneous;
(2) If it appears that the determination complained of was based
on a mistake in the determination of facts not previously
considered; or
(3) If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a
misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration
of the decision.
The request for reconsideration asserts that the workers in the
workers' firm possess skills that are not easily transferrable and that
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse. The request
provides facts not previously considered to support the assertions.
The Department of Labor 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, as
amended.
Conclusion
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.
