In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 13, 2001, applicable to workers of Allegheny Ludlum Steel, Leechburg, Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2001 (FR 66 41053).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of cold rolled grain oriented electrical steel.

That certification expired October 13, 2000. To avoid an overlap in worker group coverage, this certification is being amended to change the impact date from April 26, 2000 to October 14, 2000, for workers of the subject firm.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39,260 is hereby issued as follows:
