Drexel Heritage Furniture Industries, Plant 2, Marion, NC; Notice 
of Revised Determination on Reconsideration Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    By letter dated March 27, 2004, the company requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The certification was signed on March 5, 2004. The 
determination notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The initial investigation determined that the workers possessed 
skills that were easily transferable.
    The company provided new information to show that the workers 
possess skills that are not easily transferable. The initial 
investigation determined that at least five percent of the workforce at 
the subject firm is at least fifty years of age and that 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 Drexel Heritage Furniture Industries, Plant 2, 
Marion, North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after January 30, 2003 through March 5, 2006, 
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 19th day of April, 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
