DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-33,326]


Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc., Erie, PA; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of Certification 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 
5, 1997, applicable to workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc., located 
in Erie, Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the Federal Register 
on June 27, 1997 (62 FR 34710).
    At the request of the State agency the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings show that the 
petition investigation was conducted on behalf of workers at Owens-
Illinois Closure Inc., producing metal cans and lids. The TAA 
certification, however, covered all workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, 
Inc., in Erie, Pennsylvania.
    Other findings of the investigation review show that the decision 
document inadvertently reported that the plant closed on December 31, 
1996. The plant, however, continues in operation. There is another 
worker group at the subject plant that produce plastic products.
    Since the workers are separately identifiable by product line, the 
Department is amending the worker group certification to limit coverage 
to only those workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc., in Erie, 
Pennsylvania producing metal cans and lids.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include only 
those workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc., who were affected by 
increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-33,326 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Owens-Illinois Closure, Inc., Erie, Pennsylvania, 
engaged in employment related to the production of metal cans and 
lids, who became totally or partially separated from employment on 
or after February 28, 1996, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of September 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
