Cequent Consumer Products, a Subsidiary of Trimas Corporation, 
Sheffield, PA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration of 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated September 15, 2005, a company official requested 
administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers of the subject firm. The 
negative determination was signed on August 16, 2005, and was published 
in the Federal Register on September 8, 2005 (70 FR 53391).
    The workers of Cequent Consumer Products, a subsidiary of Trimas 
Corporation, Sheffield, Pennsylvania were certified eligible to apply 
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on August 16, 2005.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the 
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the 
local area.
    In the request for reconsideration, the company official provided 
new information confirming 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 Cequent Consumer Products, a subsidiary of Trimas 
Corporation, Sheffield, Pennsylvania, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after August 3, 2004 
through August 16, 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.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 12th day of October 2005.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
