Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration
of Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

By letter dated October 18, 2006, United Steelworkers Local
1527 AFL-CIO requested administrative reconsideration regarding
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) applicable to
workers of the subject firm. The negative determination was
signed on September 7, 2006, and was published in the Federal
Register on September 21, 2006 (71 FR 55218).
The workers of Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial Chain and
Conveyor Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin were certified eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on September 7,
2006.
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 Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial Chain
and Conveyor Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 20, 2005 through September 7, 2008, 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, D.C. this 14th day of November, 2006.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility To Apply For
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on August 10, 2006 in response
to a petition filed by the United Steelworkers of America, Local
1527, on behalf of workers of Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial
Chain and Conveyor Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The workers
produce industrial chain and idlers.
The investigation revealed that in January through July 2006
as compared with January through July 2005, the subject firm
increased import purchases of industrial chain and idlers while
experiencing a reduction in sales and production.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) for
older workers.
The group eligibility criteria for the ATAA program that the
Department must consider under Section 246 of the Trade Act are:
1. Whether a significant number of workers in the workers'
firm are 50 years of age or older.

2. Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess skills
that are not easily transferable.

3. The competitive conditions within the workers' industry
(i.e., conditions within the industry are adverse).

The Department has determined that criterion two has not been
met.
The investigation revealed that the workers of the subject
facility possess skills that are easily transferable to other
positions in the local area.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with industrial chain and idlers
produced by Rexnord Industries, LLC, contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales
or production at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial Chain and
Conveyor Division, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 20, 2005
through two years from the date of certification, are eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974.”
I further determine that all workers of Rexnord Industries,
LLC, Industrial Chain and Conveyor Division, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, are denied eligibility to apply for alternative
trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974.
