Notice of Termination of Investigation

Pursuant to Title V of the North

American Free Trade Agreement

Implementation Act (P.L. 103–182)

concerning transitional adjustment

assistance, hereinafter called (NAFTA–

TAA), and in accordance with Section

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

of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended

(19 U.S.C. 2273), an investigation was

Sara Lee Knit Products; 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, as amended (19 USC

2273), the Department of Labor issued a

Certification for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance on August 5,

1994, applicable to all workers of the

several plants and facilities of the Sara

Lee Knit Products, in Martinsville,

Virginia.

The certification was subsequently

amended to cover workers at the subject

firm locations Virginia and North

Carolina. The notices were published in

the Federal Register on March 10, 1995

(60 FR 13182), and October 2, 1995 (60

FR 51502), respectively.

At the request of the company, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

Department is again amending the

certification to cover the workers

separated from the Sara Lee Knit

Product production facility located in

Eastman, Georgia. The workers produce

T-shirts. The company reports that the

plant closed November 16, 1995.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers

who were adversely affected by

increased imports from Mexico. The

amended notice applicable to NAFTA–

00168 is hereby issued as follows:

‘‘All workers of Sara Lee Knit Products

plants located in Martinsville, Virginia

(NAFTA–00168), and Eastman, Georgia

(NAFTA–00168E) who became totally or

partially separated from employment on or

after December 8, 1993 are eligible to apply

for NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of the

Trade Act of 1974.’’

Inland Steel Company, East Chicago,

IN; 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, as amended (19

U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor

issued a Certification for NAFTA

Transitional Adjustment Assistance on

December 1, 1995, applicable to all

workers of Inland Steel Company

located in East Chicago, Indiana. The

notice will soon be published in the

Federal Register.

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. Findings

show that only the workers involved in

the production of carbon and high

strength low alloy steel plates were the

subject of the investigation.

Accordingly, the Department is limiting

its certification to only those workers at

Inland Steel, East Chicago, Indiana

engaged in the production of carbon and

high strength low alloy steel plates.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include any and all

workers affected by increased imports

from Mexico, and separated as a result

of the decline in sales or production of

carbon and high strength low alloy steel

plates produced at Inland Steel

Company.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–00680 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Inland Steel Company, East

Chicago, Indiana, engaged in employment

related to the production of carbon and high

strength low alloy steel plate who became

totally or partially separated from

employment on or after November 7, 1994

are eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA under

Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of

December 1995.

BILLING CODE 4510–30–M

[NAFTA–00120]

Walker Manufacturing Company,

Hebron, Ohio; Notice of Revised

Determination on Reconsideration

Pursuant to a voluntary remand in

UAW Local 1927 and Employees and

Former Employees of Walker

Manufacturing Co. v. Secretary of Labor,

No. 94–10–00584 (Ct. Int’l Trade), the

Department is revising its initial denial

of certification of eligibility to workers

of Walker Manufacturing Company,

located in Hebron, Ohio, to apply for

NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment

Assistance (NAFTA–TAA).

As a result of further consideration in

this case, the Department has

determined that the shift in production

to Mexico of articles like or directly

competitive with products

manufactured at the subject firm

contributed importantly to worker

separations.

Other findings show that the workers

at Hebron were used interchangeably

and are not separately identifiable by

product. Accordingly, since the worker

separations resulting from the shift in

production to Mexico indirectly affected

all lines of production, the Department

is recommending that all of the workers

of the Hebron, Ohio plant Walker

Manufacturing Company be certified as

eligible to apply for NAFTA–TAA.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts

obtained in the investigation, I conclude

that there was a shift in production of

the workers’ firm to Mexico of articles

that are like or directly competitive with

those produced by the subject firm. In

accordance with the provisions of the

Trade Act, I make the following

certification:

All workers of Walker Manufacturing

Company, Hebron, Ohio, who became totally
