DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA-01049]


The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Air Springs Manufacturing 
Division, Green, Ohio; 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 USC 2273), the Department 
of Labor issued a Notice of Revised Determination Regarding Eligibility 
to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance on August 15, 
1996, applicable to all workers of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company 
producing air sleeves in Green, Ohio. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on September 6, 1996 (61 FR 47190).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Review of the worker 
certification revealed that the workers produced air sleeves. For 
clarification, air sleeve is also know as shock sleeve. New information 
provided by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company shows that the company 
will move its air spring production from Green, Ohio, to its facility 
in Mexico. The transition will begin in 1997, and worker separations 
will begin in the first quarter of 1997. Accordingly, the Department is 
amending the certification to include all workers of the Goodyear Tire 
& Rubber Company, Green, Ohio engaged in employment related to the 
production of air springs. This amendment is also intended to clarify 
that the product air sleeve is also know as shock sleeve.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm adversely affected by the shift in 
production to Mexico.

partially separated from employment on or after May 25, 1995 are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA assistance under Section 250 of the
