Allen-Edmonds Shoe Corporation, Milwaukee, WI; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 
Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    By letter dated January 9, 2004, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The certification was signed on November 21, 2003. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on January 16, 2004 
(69 FR 2624).
    In the initial investigation the workers were denied ATAA since it 
was 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 50 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 Allen-Edmonds Shoe Corporation, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 
(TA-W-52,577) who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after August 14, 2002 through November 21, 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 13th day of February, 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
