Washington and Houston, PA;

Amended 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 Notice of

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on December 19, 2000,

applicable to workers of Allegheny

Ludlum Corporation, Jessop Plate Mill,

Jessop O&T, Washington Flat Roll

(formerly Washington Steel

Corporation), Washington, Pennsylvania

and Allegheny Ludlum Corporation,

Houston, Texas. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

January 11, 2001 (66 FR 2451).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

workers produce stainless steel,

including slab, coil and plate as well as

tool steel. New findings show that there

was a previous certification, TA–W–

34,026 and TA–W–34,026A, issued on

January 14, 1998, for workers of the

subject firm who were engaged in

employment related to the production of

stainless steel products. That

certification expired January 14, 2000.

To avoid an overlap in worker group

coverage, the certification is being

amended to change the impact date

from August 30, 1999 to January 15,

2000, for workers of the subject firm.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–38,083 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Allegheny Ludlum

Corporation, Jessop Plant Mill, Jessop O&T

and Washington Flat Roll (formerly

Washington Steel Corporation), Washington,

Pennsylvania and Houston, Pennsylvania

who became totally or partially separated

from employment on or after January 15,

2000 through December 19, 2002 are eligible

to apply for adjustment assistance under

Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of

January, 2001.
