Sun Apparel of Texas, LTD Armour

Plant Cutting Room and Laundry

Facility El Paso, TX; Amended

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for NAFTA-Transitional

Adjustment Assistance

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 March 22,

1999, applicable to workers of Sun

Apparel of Texas, Ltd., Armour Plant

Cutting Room, El Paso, Texas. The

notice was published in the Federal

Register on April 27, 1999 (64 FR

22649).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

workers were engaged in cutting fabric

for the apparel industry. New

information shows that worker

separations occurred at the laundry

facility of the subject firm and will

continue until its closing in November,

2000. The workers provided laundry

services supporting the cutting room

operation which closed in 1999. The

laundry facility workers were

inadvertently omitted from the

certification.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Sun Apparel of Texas, Ltd., Armour

Plant Cutting Room who were adversely

affected by increased imports from

Mexico.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to include

workers of Sun Apparel of Texas, Ltd.,

Armour Plant Cutting Room, and

Laundry Facility, El Paso, Texas. The

amended notice applicable to NAFTA–

02847 is hereby issued as follows:

‘‘All workers of Sun Apparel of Texas, Ltd.,

Armour Plant Cutting Room and Laundry

Facility, El Paso, Texas who became totally

or partially separated from employment on or

after March 22, 1999 through March 22, 2001

are eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA under

Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.’’

Wallowa Forest Products, Wallowa,

Oregon; Notice of Revised

Determination on Reopening

On August 22, 2000, the Department

issued a Negative Determination

Regarding Worker Eligibility to apply

for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment

Assistance applicable to workers of

Wallowa Forest Products, Wallowa,

Oregon. The notice was published in the

Federal Register on September 12, 2000

(65 FR 55050).

By letters of September 21 and

October 5, 2000, the company requested

administrative reconsideration

regarding the Department’s denial and

provided information about customer

purchases of imported stud lumber that

the Department had not previously

considered.

Workers at the subject firm were

engaged in employment related to the

production of stud lumber. The workers

are not separately identifiable by

product line.

Sales, production and employment at

the Wallowa facility declined during the

relevant time period; the facility closed

in June 2000.

The initial investigation resulted in a

negative determination because there

was no shift in production to Mexico or

Canada and the company did not

purchase imported stud lumber from

Mexico or Canada. In addition, the

Department conducted a survey of major

customers which revealed that

customers of the subject firm were not

increasing their purchases of imported

stud lumber.

The customer information provided

by the company in its request for

administrative reconsideration, and

verified by the Department, revels that

a major customer increased purchases of

imported stud lumber from Canada

while reducing purchases from the

subject firm.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts

obtained on reconsideration, I conclude

that increased imports of articles like or

directly competitive with stud lumber

contributed importantly to the declines

in sales or production and to the total

or partial separation of workers of

Wallowa Forest Products, Wallowa,

Oregon. In accordance with the

provisions of the Trade Act, I make the

following certification:

‘‘All workers of Wallowa Forest Products,

Wallowa, Oregon who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after June 27, 1999 are eligible to apply for

NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of the Trade

Act of 1974.’’
