[TA-W-51,721]


Fishing Vessel (F/V) Towego, Ketchikan, AK; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    By letter of June 10, 2003, the company official requested 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility for workers and former workers of 
Fishing Vessel (F/V) Towego, Ketchikan, Alaska to apply for worker 
adjustment assistance, under petition number TA-W-51,721. The notice 
was issued on May 13, 2003, and published in the Federal Register on 
June 3, 2003 (68 FR 33197).
    The initial petition was denied because the investigation found 
that the workers provided a service for an unaffiliated firm.
    New information provided by the company shows that the subject firm 
workers were engaged in employment related to the production of 
processed salmon. The subject firm lost at least 20 percent of its 
business with a salmon processor whose workers were certified eligible 
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the facts obtained in the reconsideration, 
I determine that workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Towego, Ketchikan, 
Alaska, qualify as adversely affected secondary workers under Section 
222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
revised determination:

    All workers of Fishing Vessel (F/V) Towego, Ketchikan, Alaska, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after May 5, 2002, through two years from the date of certification, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 26th day of August, 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
