Program; Designation of Certifying

Officers

AGENCY: Employment and Training

Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of designation of

certifying officers.

SUMMARY: The trade adjustment

assistance program operates under the

Trade Act of 1974 to furnish program

benefits to domestic workers adversely

affected in their employment by imports

of articles which are like or are directly

competitive with articles produced by

the firm employing the workers. The

North American Free Trade AgreementTransitional Adjustment Assistance

amended the Trade Act of 1974 to

provide assistance to workers impacted

by a shift in production from the

workers’ firm to Mexico or Canada, or

increased company or customer imports

from Mexico or Canada of articles like

or directly competitive with those

produced by the workers’ firm. Workers

become eligible for program benefits

only if the worker group is certified

under the Act as eligible to apply for

adjustment assistance. From time to

time the agency issues an Order

designating officials of the agency

authorized to act as certifying officers.

Employment and Training Order No. 1–

01, was issued to revise the listing of

officials designated as certifying

officers, superseding the previous

Order. Employment and Training Order

No. 1–01, is published below.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Division of Coal Mine Workers’

Compensation administers the Black

Lung Benefits Act (30 U.S.C. 901 et

seq.,) which provides benefits to coal

miners totally disabled due to

pneumoniosis, and their surviving

dependents. When the Division of Coal

Mine Workers’ Compensation (DCMWC)

makes an initial finding that an

applicant is eligible for benefits, and, if

a coal mine operator has been identified

as potentially liable for payment of

those benefits, the responsible operator

is notified of the initial finding. The

CM–970 gives the operator an

opportunity to controvert the liability.

The CM–970 is used for all claims filed

before January 19, 2001. Regulations

require that a coal mine operator be

identified and notified of potential

liability as early in the adjudication

process as possible. The CM–970A is

sent to the operator with the Notice of

Claim notifying the operator of potential

liability of payment for benefits. The

CM–970A gives the operator an

opportunity to agree or disagree with

the identification. The CM–970A is be

used for all claims filed before January

19, 2001. The CM–2970 and 2970A

serve the same purposes as the CM–970

and 970A, will be used for all claims

filed after January 19, 2001. Regulatory
