Wheeling Pittsburg Steel Corporation, Allenport, PA; Notice of 
Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

    By application dated June 26, 2008, United Steelworkers, Local 
Union 1187 requested administrative reconsideration of the negative 
determination regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(ATAA) applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. 
The determination was issued on May 21, 2008. The Notice of 
determination was published in the Federal Register on June 3, 2008 (73 
FR 31716).
    The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination 
based on the finding that imports of cold rolled sheet coil did not 
contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no 
shift of production to a foreign source occurred.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided a list 
of additional customers of the subject firm and requested to conduct a 
survey of these customers.
    The Department has carefully reviewed the request for 
reconsideration and the existing record and has determined that the 
Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the 
workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim 
is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the U.S. 
Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, 
granted.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 11th day of July 2008.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
