Fisher and Ludlow, a Nucor Company, Saegertown, Pennsylvania; 
Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration

    On May 28, 2014, the Department issued an Affirmative Determination 
Regarding Application for Reconsideration of the negative determination 
regarding workers' eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to workers and former workers 
of Fisher and Ludlow, a Nucor Company, Saegertown, Pennsylvania 
(subject firm). The Department's Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on June 13, 2014 (79 FR 33955).
    The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under 
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied if the 
following criteria are met:

    (I) Whether a significant number of workers in the workers' firm 
are 50 years of age or older;
    (II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills 
that are not easily transferable; and
    (III) The competitive conditions within the workers' industry 
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).

    The negative determination for ATAA was based on the findings that 
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) was not met because the workers in the 
workers' firm possess skills that are easily transferrable and Section 
246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) was not met because conditions within the 
workers' industry were not found to be adverse.
    During the reconsideration investigation, the Department collected 
information from the subject firm which revealed that the group 
eligibility requirements under Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade 
Act was satisfied.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the additional facts obtained on 
reconsideration, I determine that workers of the subject firm meet the 
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 
U.S.C. Sec.  2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 
U.S.C. Sec.  2273, I make the following certification:

    All workers of Fisher and Ludlow, a Nucor Company, Saegertown, 
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after February 27, 2013, through April 8, 2016, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title 
II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and are also eligible to 
apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 7th day of July, 2014.
Del Min Amy Chen,
Certifying Officer, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
