Amended Notice of Revised Determination
On Reconsideration

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Revised Determination on Reconsideration on May 9, 2008. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on May 15, 2008 (72
FR 28169-28170). The Revised Determination on Reconsideration
was amended on June 26, 2008 to include on-site leased workers
from Adecco Staffing. The notice will be published soon in the
Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration for
workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the
production of brass rod, wire and low melt alloys. The workers
are separately identifiable by product line.
New information shows that a worker separation has occurred
involving an employee (Mr. Alan Wing) working out of New York,
New York, in support of and under the control of Bolton Metal
Products Co., Bellefonte, Pennsylvania.
Information also shows that Bolton Metal Products purchased
Cerro Metal Products Co. in February 2007 thereby becoming known
as Bolton Metal Product Co., formerly known as Cerro Metal
Products.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include an employee in support of the
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania location of the subject firm working out
of New York, New York and change the name of the subject firm to
read Bolton Metal Products Co., formerly known as Cerro Metal
Products.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Bolton Metal Products Co., Bellefonte,
Pennsylvania who were adversely-impacted by increased imports of
brass rod, wire, and low melt alloys.



The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,875 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Bolton Metal Products Co., including
on-site leased workers of Adecco Staffing, Bellefonte,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-62,875) including an employee in
support of Belton Metal Products Co., Bellefonte,
Pennsylvania, working out of New York, New York (TA-W-
62,875A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 18, 2007, through
May 9, 2010, are eligible to apply for 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 at Washington, D.C. this 2nd day of July 2008

BELLEFONTE, PENNSYLVANIA

Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

On April 21, 2008, the Department issued an Affirmative
Determination Regarding Application on Reconsideration applicable
to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The notice
was published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2008 (73 FR
22434).
The previous investigation initiated on February 21, 2008,
resulted in a negative determination issued on March 19, 2008,
was based on the finding that, during the relevant period,
imports of brass rod, wire, and low melt alloys did not
contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm
and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred. The
denial notice was published in the Federal Register on April 24,
2008 (73 FR 22170).
In the request for reconsideration, the petitioner provided
additional information regarding production at the subject firm,
imports and customers.
Upon further investigation the Department requested
additional list of customers from the subject firm. New
information revealed that Bolton Metal Products Co., Bellefonte,
Pennsylvania supplies brass rod, wire and low melt alloys for
hydraulic fittings produced by the primary firm, and a loss of
business with a domestic manufacturer (whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance)
contributed importantly to the workers separation or threat of
separation.
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.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and possess skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the additional facts obtained on
reconsideration, I determine that workers of Bolton Metal
Products Co., Bellefonte, Pennsylvania qualify as adversely
affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of Bolton Metal Products Co., Bellefonte,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 18, 2007, through two years
from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply
for 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 9th day of May 2008.

At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed
the Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration for
workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the
production of brass rod, wire and low melt alloys. The workers
are separately identifiable by product line.
New information shows that leased workers of Adecco Staffing

certification to include leased workers of Adecco Staffing
working on-site at the Bellefonte, Pennsylvania location of the
subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Bolton Metal Products Co., Bellefonte,

brass rod, wire, and low melt alloys.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,875 is hereby
