Amended Certification Regarding

Eligibility To Apply for Worker

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on July

29, 1997, applicable to all workers of

The Lovable Company, Buford, Georgia.

The notice was published in the Federal

Register on September 4, 1997 (62

46775).

At the request of the company, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

findings show that all workers will be

separated at The Lovable Company’s

various outlet stores when they close in

September, 1997. The workers provide

retail selling of ladies’ undergarments

that are manufactured by The Lovable’s

production facilities. The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

The Lovable Company adversely

affected by increased imports of ladies’

undergarments. The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,584 is hereby issued as

follows:

‘‘All workers of The Lovable

Company, Buford, Georgia (TA–W–

33,584); and at the various locations

cited below, who became totally or

partially separated from employment on

or after June 9, 1996 are eligible to apply

for adjustment assistance under Section

Norton McNaughton, Incorporated,

New York, New York; Notice of Revised

Determination on Reopening

On September 22, 1997, the

Department, on its own motion,

reopened its investigation for the former

workers of the subject firm. The initial investigation resulted in a

negative determination issued on June

20, 1997, because the ‘‘contributed

importantly’’ test of the Group

Eligibility Requirements of the Trade

Act was not met for workers at the

subject firm. The workers produce

women’s career and casual clothing.

The denial notice was published in the

Federal Register on July 18, 1997 (62 FR

38584).

Sales at Norton McNaughton,

Incorporated declined from 1995 to
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 198 / Tuesday, October 14, 1997 / Notices 53351

1996 and in January through April 1997

compared to January through April

1996.

Employment at the subject firm

declined in January through April 1997

compared to January through April

1996.

A review of United States imports of

women’s career and casual clothing

including women’s and girls’ jackets,

shirts, blouses, sweaters and skirts

reveal that imports increased absolutely

and relative to domestic shipments from

1995 to 1996 and in the twelve months

through March 1997 compared to the

twelve months through March 1996.

The ratio of imports to domestic

shipments (I./S.) was more than 100

percent from 1995 through the twelve

months ending March 1997.

U.S. imports of women’s and girls’

slacks and shorts increased absolutely

and relative to domestic shipments from

1995 to 1996; the I./S. ratio was more

than 100 percent. Imports continued to

increase in the twelve months through

March 1997 compared to the same time

period a year earlier; the I./S. is not

available but is estimated to be more

than 100 percent.

U.S. imports of women’s suits steadily

increased from 1995 to 1996, and in the

twelve months ending March 1997

compared to the twelve months ending

March 1996. The I./S. ratio is not

available for these time periods.

Conclusion

After careful consideration of the new

facts obtained on reopening, it is

concluded that increased imports of

articles like or directly competitive with

women’s career and casual clothing

produced by the subject firm

contributed importantly to the decline

in sales and to the total or partial

separation of workers of the subject

firm. In accordance with the provisions

of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the

following revised determination:

All workers of Norton McNaughton,

Incorporated, New York, New York, who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after May 16, 1996, are

eligible to apply for adjustment assistance

under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed in Washington, D.C. this 26th day

of September 1997.

[Notice 97–149]

Conduct of Employees, Notice of

Waiver Pursuant to Section 207(j)(5),

Title 18, United States Code

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Administrator of the

National Aeronautics and Space

Administration has determined, after

consultation with the Director of the

Office of Government Ethics, that it is in

the national interest to waive the postemployment restrictions of Section 207,

Title 18, United States Code, with

respect to the former Director of the

Kennedy Space Center, Jay Honeycutt.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: R.

Andrew Falcon, Office of the General

Counsel, NASA Headquarters,

Washington, DC 20546, 202–358–2028.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

207(j)(5) of Title 18 of the United States

Code authorizes the Administrator of

the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration to waive the postemployment restrictions of sections

207(a)(1), 207(a)(2), and 207(c), to

permit a former employee with

outstanding qualifications in a

scientific, technological, or other

technical discipline to make

appearances before or communications

to the Government in connection with a

particular matter which requires such

qualifications, where it has been

determined that the national interest

would be served by the participation of

the former employee.

It has been established to my

satisfaction that Jay Honeycutt, the

former Director of Kennedy Space

Center, has outstanding technological

qualifications in space flight hardware

and software development, mission

control, launch processing, and flight

operations. I am further satisfied that, as

the President of Lockheed Martin Space

Mission Systems and Services, he will

be required to utilize those

qualifications in the performance of his

duties with respect to the development,

operation, and upgrade of the Space

Shuttle and related systems, and that it

will be in the national interest to permit

him to appear before and communicate

with Government officials on these

matters.

Therefore, after consultation with the

Office of Government Ethics, I have

waived the post-employment

prohibitions of section 207(a)(1),

207(a)(2), and 207(c) of Title 18 of the

United States Code in order to permit

direct communications between Mr.

Honeycutt and employees of NASA and

other Government agencies with respect

to space flight activities.

NASA Administrator.
