Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Winslow

Plant, Winslow, Maine; Including

Leased Workers of Northeast

Laboratories, Winslow, Maine;

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

August 27, 1997, applicable to all

workers of Kimberly-Clark Corporation,

Winslow Plant located in Winslow,

Maine. The notice was published in the

Federal Register on September 30, 1997

(62 FR 51152).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information provided by the company

shows that some employees of Northeast

Laboratories, Winslow, Maine were

engaged in employment related to

performing environmental testing for

the production of bath tissue produced

by the Winslow Plant of Kimberly-Clark

Corporation located in Winslow, Maine.

Worker separations occurred at

Northeast Laboratories as a result of

worker separations at Kimberly-Clark

Corporation.

Based on these findings, the

Department is amending the

certification to include workers of

Northeast Laboratories, Winslow, Maine

leased to Kimberly-Clark Corporation,

Winslow, Maine.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Kimberly-Clark Corporation adversely

affected by imports.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,670 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of the Winslow Plant of

Kimberly-Clark Corporation, located in

Winslow, Maine, and leased workers of

Northeast Laboratories, Winslow, Maine

engaged in employment related to

environmental testing for the production of

bath tissue produced at the Winslow Plant of

Kimberly-Clark Corporation located in

partially separated from employment on or

after June 23, 1996 are eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.
