Ancor Specialties: A Division of Hoeganaes Corporation Ridgway, 
PA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On November 25, 2009, the Department issued an Affirmative 
Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration applicable to 
workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2009 (73 FR 65790).
    The previous investigation initiated on June 17, 2009, resulted in 
a negative determination issued on October 15, 2009, was based on the 
finding that imports of alloyed powders and powder metal parts 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 petitioners supplied 
additional information regarding products manufactured by workers of 
the subject firm and customers of the subject firm.
    Upon further investigation, it was revealed that Ancor Specialties, 
a division of Hoeganaes Corporation, Ridgway, Pennsylvania manufactured 
and supplied alloyed powders for powder metal parts and a loss of 
business with a manufacturer of powder metal parts whose workers were 
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance contributed 
importantly to the separation or threat of separation of workers at the 
subject firm.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of Ancor Specialties, a 
division of Hoeganaes Corporation, Ridgway, Pennsylvania, who are 
engaged in activities related to the production of alloyed powders meet 
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the 
Act, 19 U.S.C. 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 
U.S.C. 2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Ancor Specialties, a division of Hoeganaes 
Corporation, Ridgway, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after June 12, 2008, through two 
years from the date of this certification, and all workers in the 
group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on 
date of certification through two years from the date of 
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 15th day of January 2010.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
