Syracuse China, Syracuse, NY; Notice of Revised Determination on 
Reconsideration of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated May 19, 2005, a petitioner requested administrative 
reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(ATAA) applicable to workers of the subject firm. The negative 
determination was signed on March 31, 2005, and was published in the 
Federal Register on May 2, 2005 (70 FR 22712).
    The workers of Syracuse China, Syracuse, New York were certified 
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on March 31, 
2005.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the 
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the 
local area.
    Upon further contacts with the company official it was confirmed 
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 Syracuse China, Syracuse, New York, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 
8, 2004 through March 31, 2007, are eligible to apply for trade 
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.
