Thunderbird Mining; Notice of Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration

By letter of June 25, 1999, the United Steelworkers of America, Local Union 6860, requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance applicable to workers of the subject firm. On July 26, 1999, the Department dismissed the application because no evidence was presented that the Department erred in its findings. The notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.

New information has been provided to the Department regarding possible customer import purchases of articles considered to be like or directly competitive with the taconite pellets produced by workers at the subject firm.

Conclusion

After careful review of the new information, I conclude that the claim is of sufficient weight to justify reopening the petition investigation and reconsider the Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

Signed at Washington, DC this 11th day of August 1999. Grant D. Beale, Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
