GULF STATES STEEL, INC.
GADSDEN, ALABAMA

Notice of Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade Act of 1974, an investi-
gation was initiated on November 20, 2000 in response to a worker
petition which was filed on November 20, 2000 on behalf of workers
at Gulf States Steel, Gadsden, Alabama.
Since all workers at the subject firm were separated prior to
November 23, 2000, workers are eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance benefits under a certification which was
issued on November 23, 1998, and covered all separations extending
through November 23, 2000 (TA-W-35,108). Consequently, further
investigation in this case would serve no purpose, and the
investigation has been terminated.
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 25th day of January, 2001
