Van Dorn Demag Corporation, a Division of Demag Products Group, 
Strongsville, OH; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated January 21, 2004, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The certification was signed on December 5, 2003. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on January 16, 2004 
(69 FR 2623).
    The initial investigation determined that the skills of the subject 
worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the local 
area.
    The petitioner alleges in the request for reconsideration that the 
skills of the workers at the subject firm are not easily transferable.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable. A significant number or 
proportion of the worker group are age fifty years or over. Competitive 
conditions within the industry are adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that the requirements of Section 246 of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, have been met for workers at the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

All workers of at Van Dorn Demag Corporation, A Division of Demag 
Products Group, Strongsville, Ohio, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after November 12, 2002 through 
December 5, 2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to 
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 
of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 5th day of February 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
