worker separations have occurred at the

Lexington, Massachusetts location of

Stride Rite Corporation. The Lexington,

Massachusetts facility is the corporate

headquarters office and provides

production planning services for

children’s shoes at Stride Rite

Corporation.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Stride Rite Corporation who were

adversely affected by increased imports

of children’s shoes. Accordingly, the

Department is amending the

certification to cover the workers of

Stride Rite Corporation, Lexington,

Massachusetts.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–33,328 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Stride Rite Corporation,

Hamilton, Missouri (TA–W–33,328), Tipton,

Missouri (TA–W–33,328A) and Lexington,

Massachusetts (TA–W–33,328B) engaged in

the production of children’s shoes who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after February 24, 1996 are

eligible to apply for adjustment assistance

under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington D.C. this 14th day of

January, 1998.

University Technical Services,

Incorporated, Canton, New York;

Amended Negative Determination

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 Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance on November 17, 1997,

applicable to all workers of University

Technical Services, Incorporated, San

Diego, California. The notice was

published in the Federal Register on

December 10, 1997 (62 FR 65100).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the negative

determination for workers of the subject

firm. New findings show that the

Department incorrectly identified the

subject firm location. The investigation

conducted for the subject firm was

conducted on behalf of workers engaged

in providing operations and

maintenance services for electricity

generation located in Canton, New York.

San Diego, California is the

Administrative Services office of the

subject firm and is not the subject of the

investigation. The Department is

amending the negative determination to

correctly identify the city and state to

read Canton, New York.

Conclusion

After careful review, I determine that

all workers of University Technical

Services, Incorporated, Canton, New

York are denied eligibility to apply for

adjustment assistance under Section 222

of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 23rd day

of December 1997.

TAA), and in accordance with Section

250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II,

initiated on December 1, 1997 in

response to a petition filed on behalf of

workers at International Wire Group,

Incorporated, Bourbon, Indiana.

This case is being terminated because

the workers were separated from the

subject firm more than one year prior to

the date of the petition. The NAFTA

Implementation Act specifies that no

certification may apply to any worker

whose last separation occurred more

than one year before the date of the

petition. Consequently, further

no purpose, and the investigation has

been terminated.
