Metzeler Automotive Profile Systems, Iowa Division, Keokuk, IA; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration Regarding 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated June 16, 2004, a petitioner requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA). The certification was signed on May 21, 2004. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on June 17, 2004 (69 FR 
33942).
    The initial investigation determined that the workers possess 
skills that are easily transferable within the local commuting area.
    The petitioner provided new information to show that there are no 
comparable jobs available in the local commuting area. Additional 
investigation has determined that a significant number of workers in 
the workers' firm are fifty years of age or older. 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 Metzeler Automotive Profile System, Iowa 
Division, Keokuk, Iowa, who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after April 19, 2003, through May 21, 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.''
