DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA-03705 Thaw Corporation, Snow Creek Division, Wenatchee, 
Washington; and NAFTA-3705A Thaw Corporation, Cutting Department, Kent, 
Washington]

 
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 205(a), subchapter 2, title II, of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance on February 18, 2000, applicable to workers of 
Thaw Corporation, Snow Creek Division, Wenatchee, Washington. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 17, 2000 (65 FR 
14628).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of fleece outerwear and thermal underwear. New 
information shows that worker separations occurred at the subject 
firms' Cutting Department, Kent, Washington in March, 2000. Workers 
perform cutting operations for all Thaw Corporation's production 
facilities, including Snow Creek Division, Wenatchee, Washington.
    Based on these new findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to cover workers at the Cutting Department, Kent, 
Washington location.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Thaw Corporation who were adversely affected by a shift of 
production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-03705 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Thaw Corporation, Snow Creek Division, Wenatchee, 
Washington (NAFTA-03705) and the Cutting Department, Kent, 
Washington (NAFTA-0305A) who became totally or partially separated 
from employment on or after January 28, 1999 through February 18, 
2002 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of April, 2000.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
