Precision Disc Corporation, Knoxville, TN; Notice of Revised 
Determination on Reconsideration of Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    By letter dated September 10, 2004, a union representative of the 
Tennessee AFL-CIO, Technical Assistance requested administrative 
reconsideration regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance 
(ATAA). The negative determination was signed on August 12, 2004 and 
published in the Federal Register on August 20, 2004 (69 FR 51713).
    The workers of Precision Disc Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee 
were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 
on August 12, 2004.
    The initial ATAA investigation determined that the skills of the 
subject worker group are easily transferable to other positions in the 
local area.
    The petitioner alleges in the request for reconsideration that the 
skills of the workers at the subject firm are not easily transferable.
    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 Precision Disc Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after January 27, 2003 through August 12, 2006, 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, DC, this 21st day of September 2004.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
