Coach; A Subsidiary of Sara Lee

Corporation, Medley, FL; Amended

Certification 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

U.S. Department Labor issued a

Certification of Eligibility to Apply for

Worker Adjustment Assistance on

December 4, 2000 applicable to workers

of Coach, Medley, Florida. The notice

was published in the Federal Register

on December 21, 2000 (65 FR 80458).

10918 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 20, 2001 / Notices

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm.

Information provided by the State

shows that Coach is a subsidiary of Sara

Lee Corporation. Some workers at the

subject firms’ Medley, Florida facility

have had their wages reported under a

separate unemployment insurance (UI)

tax account for Sara Lee Corporation.

The workers were engaged in the

production of leather handbags and

accessories.

Based on these findings, the

Department is amending the

certification to properly reflect this

matter.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Coach who were adversely affected by

increased imports.

The amended notice applicable to

TA–W–38,276 is hereby issued as

follows:

‘‘All workers of Coach, a subsidiary of Sara

Lee Corporation, Medley, Florida, who

became totally or partially separated from

employment on or after October 24, 1999

through December 4, 2000 are eligible to

apply for adjustment assistance under

Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.’’

Signed at Washington D.C. this 7th day of

February, 2001.

Hobman Corporation; Jim Thorpe,

Pennsylvania; Notice of Affirmative

Determination Regarding Application

for Reconsideration

By letter of November 19, 2000, the

petitioners requested administrative

reconsideration of the Department of

Labor’s Notice of Negative

Determination Regarding Eligibility to

Apply for Worker Adjustment

Assistance, applicable to workers of the

subject firm. The denial notice was

signed on October 31, 2000, and was

published in the Federal Register on

November 16, 2000 (65 FR 69342).

The petitioners assert that the

Department’s investigation did not

include PC boards produced by the

workers in the time period relevant to

the investigation (1998 through July

2000).

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 6th day of

February, 2001.
