Assistance Center requested administrative reconsideration regarding

Assistance (TAA) on September 15, 2004.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the 
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the 
local area.
    The AFL-CIO provided documentation with the request for 
reconsideration that the skills of the workers at the subject firm are 
not easily transferable in the local commuting area.
    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 PPC Insulators, Knoxville, Tennessee, who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
August 20, 2003 through September 15, 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 20th day of October 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
