Moltrup Steel Products Company, Inc.,

Beaver Falls, PA; Notice of

Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Section 221 of the Trade

Act of 1974, an investigation was

initiated on December 6, 1999 in

response to a worker petition which was

filed on behalf of workers at Moltrup

Steel Products Company, Incorporated,

Beaver Falls, PA.

The three petitioners were separated

from the subject firm more than a year

prior to the date of the petition

(November 15, 1999). Section 223(b)(1)

of the Trade Act of 1974 specifies that

no certification may apply to any

worker whose last separation occurred

more than a year before the date of the

petition. Consequently, further

investigation in this case would serve

no purpose, and the investigation has

been terminated.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 17th day

of December 1999.

Program Manager, Office of Trade

Adjustment Assistance.

Ray-Ban Sun Optics, Luxottica,

Formerly Known as Eyewear Division

of Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, New

York; 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

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on

November 2, 1999, applicable to

workers of Ray-Ban Sun Optics,

Rochester, New York. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

December 2, 1999 (64 FR 67594). The

certification was amended on December

6, 1999 to show that the company was

formerly known as Eyewear Division of

Bausch & Lomb. The notice will soon be

published in the Federal Register.

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

workers are engaged in the production

of sunglasses. As indicated in the

December 6, 1999 amended

certification, the subject firm, originally

named the Eyewear Division of Bausch

& Lomb, was sold in June, 1999 to

Luxottica and was renamed Ray-Ban

Sun Optics. The State agency reports

that some workers wages at the subject

firm have been reported to the

Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax

account of Luxottica.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

the subject firm affected by increased

imports. Therefore, the certification is

again amended to include the workers at

the Rochester, New York plant whose

wages were reported to the Luxottica tax

account.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–36,730 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Ray-Ban Sun Optics,

Luxottica, formerly known as Eyewear
