DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-39,450]


Northwestern Steel and Wire Company Sterling, IL; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By letter of September 24, 2001, the company requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative 
determination regarding eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (TAA), applicable to workers and former workers of the 
subject firm. The denial notice was signed on September 5, 2001, and 
was published in the Federal Register on September 21, 2001 (66 FR 
48706).
    Information provided by the company reveals that further 
investigation is warranted regarding imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced by workers at Northwestern 
Steel and Wire Company, Sterling, Illinois.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of 
Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of October, 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
