DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration NAFTA-00051
Valeo Climate Control Corp., Fort Worth, TX; Amended
Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance
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), the Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment
assistance on April 22, 1994, applicable to workers of Valeo Climate
Control Corporation in Fort Worth, Texas. The certification did not
apply to workers in the Rapid Product Development Group at the Fort
Worth, Texas location of Valeo Climate Control Corporation. The Notice
will be published in the Federal Register.
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification. New information from the company shows that worker
separations from the Rapid Product Development Group of the Fort Worth,
Texas facility of Valeo Climate Control Corporation were related to the
shift in production from the subject plant to Mexico.
The Department's certification is amended to include workers in the
Rapid Product Development Group.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-00051 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Valeo Climate Control Corporation in Fort Worth,
Texas, including workers in the Rapid Product Development Group, who
become 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 1994.''
Signed at Washington, DC, this 24th day of June, 1994.
