Determinations Terminating
Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was
published in the Federal Register and
on the Department’s Web site, as
required by Section 221 of the Act (19
U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated
investigations of these petitions.
The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued

because the petitioner has requested
that the petition be withdrawn.

The following determinations
terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of
workers are covered by active

investigation in these cases would serve
no purpose since the petitioning group
of workers cannot be covered by more
than one certification at a time.

Notice of Determination was published

At the request of a State Workforce
Office, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject

Metallurgical and TDY Industries.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
the subject firm who were adversely
affected by increased imports of
titanium ingot and mill products.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending this certification to properly
reflect this matter.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–85,697 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of ATI Specialty Alloys and
Components, Albany Operations, 34th
Avenue, including on-site leased workers
from Kelly Services, LBCC, Cadd

as amended, and are also eligible to apply for

amended.
