Precision Disc Corporation, Knoxville, TN; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration

    On June 3, 2004, the Department of Labor issued a Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for 
workers of the subject firm. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on June 15, 2004 (69 FR 33423).
    To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied

additional major declining customers to supplement those that were 
surveyed during the initial investigation. The survey revealed 
increased customer imports of saw core products during the relevant 
period. The imports accounted for a meaningful portion of the subject 
plant's lost sales and production.
    In accordance with section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results 
of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply 
for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
    In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility 
to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of section 246 of 
the Trade Act must be met. The Department has determined in this case 
that the requirements of section 246 have not been met.
    The investigation revealed that the petitioning worker group 
possess skills that are easily transferable.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or 
directly competitive with those produced at the subject firm 
contributed importantly to the declines in sales or production and to 
the total or partial separation of workers at the subject firm. In 
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of Precision Disc Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after January 27, 2003, through two years from the date of this 
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are denied eligibility to 
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 
of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 12th day of August, 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
