Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial Chain and Conveyor Division, 
Milwaukee, WI; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration of 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated October 18, 2006, United Steelworkers Local 1527 
AFL-CIO requested administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers of the subject 
firm. The negative determination was signed on September 7, 2006, and 
was published in the Federal Register on September 21, 2006 (71 FR 
55218).
    The workers of Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial Chain and 
Conveyor Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were certified eligible to 
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on September 7, 2006.
    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 petitioner provided 
sufficient 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 50 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 Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial Chain and 
Conveyor Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after July 20, 2005 
through September 7, 2008, 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 at Washington, DC, November 14, 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
