Investigation

Pursuant to Title V of the North

TAA), and in accordance with Section

250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II,

(19 U.S.C. 2273), an investigation was

initiated on June 23, 1997 in response

to a petition filed on behalf of workers

at Singer Furniture Company located in

in employment related to the

the investigation has been terminated.

[NAFTA—01482 and 01482B]

Singer Furniture Company; Lenoir and

Roanoke, Virginia; Amended

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 250(a),

Subchapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act

of 1974, as amended (19 USC 2273), the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance on April 17,

1997, applicable to all workers of Singer

Furniture Company, Lenoir and

notice was published in the Federal

Register on May 9, 1997 (62 FR 25660).

At the request of the petitioners, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

findings show that worker separations

occurred during the past year at Singer

Furniture Company, Roanoke, Virginia.

The workers are engaged in employment

related to the production of household

furniture.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to cover

workers at the subject firms’ Roanoke,

Virginia location. Also, the impact date

is being changed from February 19, 1996

to February 4, 1996.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Singer Furniture Company adversely

affected by imports from Mexico.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA—01482 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Singer Furniture Company,

Lenoir, North Carolina (NAFTA—01482) and

Roanoke, Virginia (NAFTA—01482B) who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after February 4, 1996 are

eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA under

Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 18th day

of July 1997.
