Apply for NAFTA-Transitional

In accordance with Section 250(A),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273), the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance on January 29,

1997, applicable to all workers of Dayco

Products, Incorporated, Waynesville,

North Carolina. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

February 13, 1997 (62 FR 6806).

At the request of the petitioners, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information provided by the company

shows that some employees of Dayco

Products, Incorporated were leased from

Manpower Temporary Services to

provide administrative support function

services for the production of

automotive parts at the Waynesville,

North Carolina facility. Worker

separations occurred at Manpower

Temporary Services as a result of

worker separations at Dayco Products,

Incorporated.

Based on these findings, the

Department is amending the

certification to include workers of

Manpower Temporary Services,

Waynesville, North Carolina leased to

Dayco Products, Incorporated,

Waynesville, North Carolina.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Dayco Products, Incorporated adversely

affected by imports from Mexico.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–01350 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Dayco Products,

Incorporated, Waynesville, North Carolina

and leased workers of Manpower Industries,

Waynesville, North Carolina engaged in

employment related to administrative

support function services for the production

of automotive parts for Dayco Products,

Incorporated, Waynesville, North Carolina

who became totally or partially separated

from employment on or after November 11,

1995 are eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA

under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 15th day

of August, 1997.
