WHEELING PITTSBURGH STEEL CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
PRO UNLIMITED
ALLENPORT, PENNSYLVANIA

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 August 11, 2008 The
notice was published in the Federal Register on August 19, 2008
(73 FR 48395).
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 cold rolled sheet coils.
New information shows that workers leased workers from Pro
Unlimited were employed on-site at the Allenport, Pennsylvania
location of Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation to be
considered leased workers.



Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
revised determination to include workers leased from Pro
Unlimited working on-site at the Allenport, Pennsylvania location
of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all adversely affected secondary workers employed at Wheeling
Pittsburgh Steel Corporation, Allenport, Pennsylvania.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-63,278 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Pro Unlimited,
Allenport, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April
21, 2007, through August 11, 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 12th day of September 2008

TA-W-63,278

WHEELING PITTSBURGH STEEL CORPORATION
ALLENPORT, PENNSYLVANIA

Notice of Revised Determination
on Reconsideration

On July 11, 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 July 21, 2008 (73 FR
42369).
The previous investigation initiated on April 30, 2008,
resulted in a negative determination issued on May 21, 2008, was
based on the finding that imports of cold rolled sheet coil did
not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject
firm and no shift in production to a foreign source occurred.
The denial notice was published in the Federal Register on June
3, 2008 (73 FR 31716).
In the request for reconsideration, United Steelworkers,
Local Union 1187 provided additional information regarding the
subject firm’s customers.
The Department requested a list of additional customers from
the customer official of the subject firm. Upon further
investigation it was determined that Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel
Corporation, Allenport, Pennsylvania supplied component parts for
steel pipe and tube and a loss of business with a manufacturer of
steel pipe and tube whose workers were certified eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance contributed importantly to the separation
or threat of separation of workers at Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel
Corporation, Allenport, Pennsylvania.
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 Wheeling Pittsburgh
Steel Corporation, Allenport, 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 Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation,
Allenport, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 21, 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 eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974."
