Eramet Marietta Incorporated North Plant, Marietta, OH; Notice of 
Revised Determination on Reopening

    On December 22, 2000, the Department, on its own motion, reopend 
its investigation for workers and former workers at the subject firm in 
Marietta, Ohio.
    The initial petition filed with the Department on behalf of workers 
of Eramet Marietta Incorporated, North Plant, Marietta, Ohio, was 
denied on November 21, 2000. The investigation revealed that the 
``contributed importantly'' criterion of the worker group eligibility 
requirements of section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was 
not met. Although the company reported that it would rely on impor 
purchases of manganese metal, company imports had not as yet occurred. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2000. 
(65 FR 80457).
    By letter dated, December 15, 2000, the company informed the 
Department that the subject firm has accepted the first delivery of 
imported managense metal.

Conclusion

    After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, 
it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly 
competitive with manganese metal contributed importantly to the decline 
in sales and to the total or partial separation of workers at the 
subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 
1974, I make the following revised determation:

    All workers of Eramet Marietta Incorporated, North Plant, 
Marietta, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after September 11, 1999, through two years from 
the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
