DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA-00646 et al.]


Pacific Power a/k/a PacifiCorp, a/k/a Utah Power, Casper, 
Wyoming, and Other Locations Within Wyoming and Other Locations Within 
Various States; 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 
Pacific Power, located in Casper, Wyoming, and operating at various 
locations in the State of Wyoming. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on January 26, 1996 (61 FR 2538).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided 
by the company shows that worker separations have occurred at other 
production facilities of the subject firm at various locations within 
the States of Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho and Utah. 
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of 
electrical power. The company reports that PacifiCorp was formed to 
combine Pacific Power and Utah Power. Consequently, some of the workers 
may have had their Unemployment Insurance (UI) wages reported under 
either PacifiCorp, Pacific Power or Utah Power tax accounts. Other 
findings show that workers of Pacific Power in Centralia, Washington 
are covered under an existing NAFTA-TAA certification, NAFTA-00655, and 
are specifically excluded from this amendment.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports from Canada or Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is amending 
the certification to reflect that in addition to Pacific Power, the 
workers UI wages may have been paid under PacifiCorp or

Utah Power; and to cover worker separations at the other locations of 
the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-00646 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Pacific Power, a/k/a PacifiCorp, a/k/a Utah 
Power, Casper, Wyoming and at other locations within Wyoming (NAFTA-
00646); and other locations within the following States, who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after October 
16, 1994 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of 
the Trade Act of 1974:

NAFTA-00646A  Washington (Excluding Centralia)
NAFTA-00646B  Oregon
NAFTA-00646C  California
NAFTA-00646D  Montana
NAFTA-00646E  Idaho
NAFTA-00646F  Utah.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 8th day of May 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of 
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
