DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-52,903]


Straits Steel & Wire, Rowe Engineering, Ludington, Michigan; 
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 October 14, 2003, applicable 
to workers of Straits Steel & Wire, Ludington, Michigan. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on November 6, 2003 (68 FR 62834).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of display shelving and baskets for refrigerators.
    New information shows that Straits Steel & Wire and Rowe 
Engineering are subsidiaries of SSW Holding. Information also shows 
that workers separated from employment at the subject firm had their 
wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account 
for Rowe Engineering.
    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 Straits Steel & Wire, Ludington, Michigan, who were 
adversely affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-52,903 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Straits Steel & Wire, Rowe Engineering, 
Ludington, Michigan, engaged in the production of display shelving 
and baskets, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after September 8, 2002, through October 14, 2005, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of January, 2004.
