    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 July 9, 2003, applicable to 
workers of National Steel Corporation, Corporate Headquarters, 
Mishakawa, Indiana, Granite City Division, Granite City, Illinois, 
Great Lakes Operations, Ecorse, Michigan, Midwest Operations, Portage, 
Indiana, ProCoil Corporation, Canton, Michigan, Technical Research 
Center, Trenton, Michigan, National Steel Pellet Company, Keewatin, 
Minnesota and Delray Connecting Railroad, Detroit, Michigan. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on July 22, 2003 (68 FR 43371).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of flat rolled steel.
    New information shows that United States Steel purchased the assets 
of National Steel Corporation on May 20, 2003 and some of the workers 
separated from employment at the subject firm had their wages reported 
under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for United 
States Steel Corporation.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of National Steel Corporation who were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-51,611 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of National Steel Corporation (NSC), United States
