Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for 
Reconsideration: TA-W-71,572, Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a Subsidiary of 
Severstal North America, Inc., Martins Ferry, OH; TA-W-71,572A, 
Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a Subsidiary of Severstal North America, 
Inc., Yorkville, OH; TA-W-71,572B, Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a 
Subsidiary of Severstal North America, Inc., Mingo Junction, OH; TA-W-
71,572C, Severstal Wheeling, Inc., a Subsidiary of Severstal North 
America, Inc., Steubenville, OH

    By applications dated May 15 and May 21, 2010, United Steel, Paper 
and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and 
Service Workers International Union (USW), requested administrative 
reconsideration of the negative determination regarding workers' 
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) applicable 
to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The determination 
was issued on March 3, 2010, and the Notice of determination was 
published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2010 (75 FR 21363).
    The subject workers produce galvanized coil (TA-W-71,572), cold 
rolled coils and back plate coils (TA-W-71,572A), hot rolled coils (TA-
W-71,572B), and cold rolled coils (TA-W-71,572C).
    The negative determination was based on the findings that there was 
no increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles 
produced at subject facilities and no shift to/acquisition from a 
foreign country by the subject firm of like or directly competitive 
articles produced at the subject facilities.
    The investigation also revealed that the firm did not produce an 
article or supply a service that was used by a firm with TAA-certified 
workers in the production of an article or supply of a service that was 
the basis for TAA certification.
    The Department of Labor 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 15th day of October 2010.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
