Cequent Electrical Products--Breakaway Switches Product Line and 
Cable Connectors Product Line, Albion, Indiana; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration of Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    By letter dated November 22, 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 September 14, 2005, and soon will 
be published in the Federal Register.
    The workers of Cequent Electrical Products, Breakaway Switches 
Product Line, Albion, Indiana (TA-W-57,567A) and Cequent Electrical 
Products, Cable Connectors Product Line, Albion, Indiana (TA-W-57,567B) 
were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
on September 14, 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 Electrical Products, Breakaway Switches 
Product Line, Albion, Indiana (TA-W-57,567A) and all workers of 
Cequent Electrical Products, Cable Connectors Product Line, Albion, 
Indiana (TA-W-57,567B), who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after July 15, 2004 through September 14, 
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 3rd day of February, 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
