DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-40,521D]


Republic Technologies International Currently Known as Republic 
Engineered Products, Lorain, OH; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February 19, 2002, applicable 
to workers of Republic Technologies International located in Lorain, 
Ohio. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February 28, 
2002 (67 FR 9325).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce hot 
rolled steel bars. The State reports that the plant was purchased by 
Republic Engineered Products and the worker group continued to produce 
hot rolled steel bars. Furthermore, worker separations have occurred 
under the new employer, and the workers wages are reported under the 
Unemployment Insurance tax account for the new owner.
    It is the Department's intent to provide coverage to all workers of 
the firm adversely impacted by increases in imports of steel bars. 
Consequently, the Department is amending the certification to reflect 
the change in ownership and include workers of Republic Engineered 
Products, Lorain, Ohio.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,521D is hereby issued as 
follows:


[[Page 27111]]


    All workers of Republic Technologies International, currently 
known as Republic Engineered Products, Lorain, Ohio, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 
19, 2000 through February 19, 2004, are eligible to apply for 
adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of May, 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
