U.S.C. 3721–23 (1994).

Background

The purpose of the National

Commission on the Future of DNA

Evidence is to provide the Attorney

General with recommendations on the

use of current and future DNA methods,

applications and technologies in the

operation of the criminal justice system,

from the Crime scene to the courtroom.

Over the course of its Charter, the

Commission will review critical policy

issues regarding DNA evidence and

provide recommended courses of action

to improve its use as a tool of

investigation and adjudication in

criminal cases.

The Commission will address issues

in five specific areas: (1) The use of

DNA in post-conviction relief cases, (2)

legal concerns including Daubert

challenges and the scope of discovery in

DNA cases, (3) criteria for training and

technical assistance for criminal justice

professionals involved in the

identification, collection and

preservation of DNA evidence at the

crime scene, (4) essential laboratory

capabilities in the face of emerging

technologies, and (5) the impact of

future technological developments in

the use of DNA in the criminal justice

system. Each topic will be the focus of

the in-depth analysis by separate

working groups comprised of prominent

professionals who will report back to

the Commission.

Director, National Institute of Justice.

Badger Paper Mills, Incorporated

Peshtigo, WI; Notice of Affirmative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By letter of March 27, 1998, the

petitioners requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notices of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance (TA–W–34,188) and NAFTATransitional Adjustment Assistance

(NAFTA–02140) for workers of the

subject firm. The TAA and NAFTA–

TAA notices were signed on March 2,

1998 and published in the Federal

Register on March 23, 1998 (63 FR

13878) and (63 FR 13879), respectively.

The petitioners present evidence that

the Department’s survey of the subject

firm’s domestic customers was

incomplete.

Conclusion

After careful review of the

application, I conclude that the claim is

of sufficient weight to justify

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s prior decision. The application

is, therefore, granted.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 8th day of

May 1998.

Eagle-Picher Plastics Division A/K/A

Cambridge Industries Huntington,

Indiana; 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 Notice of

Certification Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on July 3, 1996, applicable to

workers of Eagle-Picher Plastics

Division, located in Huntington,

Indiana. The notice was published in

the Federal Register on August 2, 1996

(61 FR 40454).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm

producing reinforced composite engine

covers. New information provided by

the State agency shows that on July 10,

1997 the subject firm was purchased by

Cambridge Industries. Layoffs have

continued and the facility is almost

closed. Accordingly, some of workers

separated from employment at the

Huntington plant have had their wages

reported under the unemployment

insurance (UI) tax account for the

Cambridge Industries. Accordingly, the

Department is amending the

certification to properly reflect this

matter.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

the Eagle-Picher Plastics Division in the

Huntington, Indiana plant adversely

affected by increased imports.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–32,372 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Eagle-Picher Plastics

Division, also known as Champion Industries

(as of July 10, 1997), Huntington, Indiana,

who became totally or partially separated

from employment on or after May 15, 1995

through July 3, 1998, are eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of

the Trade Act of 1974.
