Johnson Controls, Inc., Controls SP Division, Goshen, IN; Notice 
of Revised Determination of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on 
Reconsideration

    In a letter dated May 3, 2005, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA) for workers of the subject firm. The certification 
for Trade Adjustment Assistance was signed on April 21, 2005. The 
Department's notice of determination will soon be published in the 
Federal Register.
    The initial investigation determined that the subject worker group 
possesses skills that are easily transferable.
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official stated 
that the ATAA question regarding transferable skills was misunderstood 
and provided new information regarding the skills

possessed by members of the subject worker group.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department sought 
additional information regarding the workers' skills from the subject 
company.
    Based on the new information, the Department has determined that 
the workers possess skills which are not easily transferable to other 
positions in the local area.
    The initial investigation revealed that at least five percent of 
the workforce at the subject firm is at least fifty years of age. 
Conditions within the controls 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 of the subject 
firm.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    ``All workers of Johnson Controls, Inc., Controls SP Division, 
Goshen, Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after April 6, 2004 through April 21, 2007, 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 12th day of May 2005.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
