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.
