Destron Fearing Corporation, Animal Applications Division, South 
Saint Paul, MN; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration of 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

    By letter dated July 30, 2008, a State agency representative 
requested administrative reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers of the subject firm. 
The negative determination was signed on July 17, 2008 and published in 
the Federal Register on July 30, 2008 (73 FR 44284).
    The workers of Destron Fearing Corporation, Animal Applications 
Division, South Saint Paul, Minnesota were certified eligible to apply 
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on July 17, 2008.
    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 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 Destron Fearing Corporation, Animal Applications 
Division, South Saint Paul, Minnesota, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after June 26, 2007 
through July 17, 2010, 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 6th day of August 2008.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
