[TA-W-51,361]


Sisiutl Fisheries, Kodiak, AK; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration

    By letter of April 24, 2003, the company official requests 
administrative reconsideration of the Department's Negative 
Determination Regarding Eligibility for workers and former workers of 
Sisiutl Fisheries, Kodiak, Alaska to apply for worker adjustment 
assistance, under petition number TA-W-51,361. The notice was issued on 
April 16, 2003, and published in the Federal Register on May 1, 2003 
(68 FR 23322).
    The initial petition was denied because the investigation found 
that the subject firm did not meet the group eligibility requirements 
of a primary firm under Section 222(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended. The subject firm did not import fresh or chilled salmon, nor 
did Sisiutl Fisheries, Kodiak, Alaska shift production abroad. 
Furthermore, the firm's major declining customer increased its reliance 
on domestic purchases of fresh or chilled salmon during the relevant 
time period.
    The petitioner states that the workers of Sisiutl Fisheries, 
Kodiak, Alaska, are secondarily affected because they lost at least 20 
percent of their business with a salmon processor whose workers were 
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance.
    Reconsideration findings show that the TAA petition form indicated 
that workers of the subject firm were secondarily affected. The company 
official clarified the customer information that was provided during 
the investigation. This new information supports the petitioner's claim 
that workers of Sisiutl Fisheries, Kodiak, Alaska, lost at least 20 
percent of its sales to a salmon processor whose workers were certified 
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance.

Conclusion

    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
revised determination:

    All workers of Sisiutl Fisheries, Kodiak, Alaska, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 21, 
2002, through two years from the date of the certification, are 
eligible to apply for worker adjustment assistance under section 223 
of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 25th day of September, 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
