Berea, KY; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On January 30, 2008, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration regarding 
eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) 
applicable to workers and former workers of Motor Wheel Commercial 
Vehicle Systems, Full Cast/Assembly Area, Berea, Kentucky (the subject

[[Page 9837]]

Department's Notice of affirmative determination was published in the 
Federal Register on February 7, 2008 (73 FR 7317).
    The request for reconsideration alleged that the skills of the 
worker group are not easily transferable to other positions in the 
local commuting area. Certification regarding eligibility to apply for 
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers and former 
workers of the subject firm was issued on November 30, 2007.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received 
new information which indicated that, within the subject firm's local 
commuting area, the subject workers' skills are not easily transferable 
to other positions.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department also 
confirmed that a significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 
or over and that competitive conditions within the industry are 
adverse.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the information obtained in the 
reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers and former 
workers of the subject firm have met the group eligibility criteria for 
Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended. In 
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following 
certification:

    All workers of Motor Wheel Commercial Vehicle Systems, Full 
Cast/Assembly Area, Berea, Kentucky, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after October 28, 2006 through 
November 30, 2009, are eligible to apply for alternative trade 
adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of February 2008.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
