Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 10, 1997 / Notices 65105

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

NAFTA Transitional Adjustment

Assistance on August 7, 1997,

applicable to workers of Levi Strauss

and Company, located in El Paso, Texas.

The notice was published in the Federal

Register on September 17, 1997 (62 FR

48889). The certification was

subsequently amended to include the

subject firm workers at the El Paso Field

Headquarters in El Paso, Texas. The

amendment was issued on September

14, 1997 and published in the Federal

Register on September 30, 1997 (62 FR

51161).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. New

information received by the State shows

that worker separations have occurred at

the San Benito, Texas plant of Levi

Strauss and Company. The workers in

San Benito are engaged in employment

related to the production of men’s,

women’s and youth’s denim jeans and

jackets. Based on this new information,

the Department is amending the

certification to cover the subject firms’

workers at the San Benito, Texas plant.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Levi Strauss and Company who were

adversely affected by increased imports

from Mexico of men’s, women’s and

youth’s denim jeans and jackets.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–01807 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Levi Strauss and Company,

Goodyear Cutting Facility and El Paso Field

Headquarters, El Paso, Texas (NAFTA–

01807) and San Benito, Texas (NAFTA–

01807X) who were engaged in employment

related to the production of men’s, women’s

and youth’s denim jeans and jackets who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after July 9, 1996 are

eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA under

Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed in Washington, D.C. this 10th day

of November 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

requirements, the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

and the United States Section of the

International Boundary and Water

Commission (USIBWC) completed an

environmental review of the impacts of

the Mexicali Wastewater Collection and

Treatment Project proposed by the

Comisio ́n Estatal de Servicios Pu ́ blicos

de Mexicali (CESPM). The FONSI was

based on the analyses presented in the

Environmental Assessment for Mexicali

Wastewater Collection and Treatment

Project. The proposed action consists of

several projects designed to improve the

water quality discharge from the

Mexicali treatment system and water

quality in the New River. The NEPA

review was required because of the

issuance funds for the project.

In accordance with the guidelines for

determining the significance of

proposed federal actions (40 CFR

1508.27) and Border Environment

Cooperation Commission (BECC)

Criteria for initiating an environmental

assessment, the EPA and USIBWC

concluded that the proposed action will

not result in a significant effect on the

environment. The proposal will not

significantly affect land use patterns or

population, wetlands or floodplains,

threatened or endangered species,

farmlands, ecologically critical areas,

cultural or historic resources, traffic,

visual, geological resources, public

health and safety, socioeconomic

conditions, energy demand, air quality,

water quality, noise levels, fish and

wildlife resources, nor will it conflict

with local or state land use plans or

policies. The proposal conforms with all

applicable federal statutes and executive

orders.

The CESPM submitted to the BECC an

Environmental Assessment

(Manifestacion de Impacto Ambiental

Modalidad General del Projecto

Saneamiento del Rio Nuevo en la C.D.

de Mexicali, Baja California) that

disclosed the impacts in Mexico from

this project. It was determined that there

were no significant impacts.

The USEPA and USIBWC determined

that the proposed action would not

significantly impact the environment of

the United States and that the

preparation of an Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) is not required.

Availability

Copies of the Final Act and Final

FONSI have been distributed to Federal,

State, and local agencies, organizations

and individuals that have commented

on or have consulted and coordinated in

the preparation of the EA. A limited

number of copies are available to fill

single copy requests at the above

address.

program, NARA has permitted vendors

to set up work stations in its building

overall performance, NARA has decided

to extend the program for another year,

though with some modifications.

anniversary date, NARA will open the

program to interested vendors for a

fourth year. All vendors interested in

this program, including vendors already

participating, are invited to attend a

meeting on January 7, 1998, where

copies of a Memorandum of Agreement

specifying the terms of the program will

be distributed. A follow-up meeting has

been scheduled for February 4, 1998, to

answer any remaining questions from

vendors. Attendance at the meetings

does not require reservations.

Attendance is encouraged, but not

required, to participate in the program.

DATES: The initial meeting will be held

on Wednesday, January 7, 1998, at 10

a.m. Copies of the Memorandum of

Agreement also will be available
