Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment 
Assistance
    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on February 19, 2002, applicable 
to workers of Republic Technologies International located in Lorain, 
Ohio. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February 28, 
2002 (67 FR 9325). The certification was amended on May 6, 2003 to 
reflect the change in ownership and include workers of Republic 
Engineered Products, Lorain, Ohio (TA-W-40,521D). The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2003 (68 FR 27110-27111).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce hot 
rolled steel bars. The company reports that Republic Technologies 
International was purchased by Republic Engineered Products in August 
2002 and that workers wages are reported under the Unemployment 
Insurance tax account for the new owner.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
reflect the change in ownership.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the firm adversely impact by increased imports of steel 
bars.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,521 is hereby issued as 
follows:

``All workers of Republic Technologies International, currently 
known as Republic Engineered Products, headquartered in Akron, Ohio, 
including the following facilities producing hold rolled steel:
