Munson Machinery Company, Utica, NY; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration of Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    By letter dated June 2, 2009, a petitioner requested administrative 
reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(ATAA) applicable to workers of the subject firm. The negative 
determination was signed on May 14, 2009. The notice of negative 
determination for ATAA will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    The workers of Munson Machinery Company, Utica, New York were 
certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on 
May 14, 2009.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that workers of the 
workers' firm possess skills that are easily transferrable.
    In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided 
additional information regarding the skills of the workers and that the 
skills of the workers employed at the subject firm are not easily 
transferrable to other businesses within the local commuting area. The 
company official provided sufficient information confirming this 
statement.
    Additional investigation has determined that the workers possess 
skills that are not easily transferable and that the conditions within 
the industry are adverse. A significant number or proportion of the 
worker group is age fifty years or over.

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 
revised determination:

All workers of Munson Machinery Company, Utica, New York, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 11, 
2008 through May 14, 2011, are eligible to apply for alternative 
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 
1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 16th day of June, 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
