DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

NAFTA--00302; Washington Public Power Supply Systems Nuclear 
Project; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance

NAFTA--00302 WPN-2 Richland, Washington
NAFTA--00302A WPN-1 Richland, Washington
NAFTA--00302B WPN-3 Satsop, Washington
    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 January 13, 1995, applicable to all workers of the 
Washington Public Power System (WPN-2) in Richland, Washington. The 
notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the company and the workers the Department 
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New 
findings show that the worker group for the Washington Public Power 
Supply System Nuclear Project, WPN-2 plant, in Richland, Washington 
should include workers at the WPN-1 in Richland as well as the WPN-3 
plant in Satsop, Washington. The workers are rotated among the three 
plants.
    The investigation revealed that sales declined and significant 
worker separations occurred at all three plants. A Departmental survey 
of Washington Public Power's customers showed that the respondents 
decreased their purchases for Washington Public Power and increased 
their imports of electrical energy from Canada.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers who were adversely affected by increased imports. Accordingly, 
the Department is amending the certification to include Washington 
Public Power's plants in Satsop, Washington and Richland, Washington.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--00302 is hereby issued as 
follows:

``All workers of the Washington Public Power Supply System Nuclear 
Project at the WPN-2 plant in Richland Washington; WPN-1 plant in 
Richland, Washington and the WPN-3 plant in Satsop, Washington 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.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 21st day of February 1995.
Victor J. Trunzo,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
