Johnson & Johnson Medical, Incorporated Including Temporary 
Workers of Kelly Services, Incorporated El Paso, Texas; 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 (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
October 9, 1996, applicable to all workers of Johnson & Johnson 
Medical, Incorporated, located in El Paso, Texas. The notice will be 
published soon in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided 
by the State shows that some workers of Johnson & Johnson Medical, 
Incorporated were temporary workers of Kelly Services, Incorporated 
employed to produce surgical gowns, drapes and sheets at the El Paso, 
Texas facility. Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include temporary workers from Kelly Services, 
Incorporated, El Paso, Texas who were engaged in the production of 
surgical gowns, drapes and sheets at Johnson and Johnson Medical, 
Incorporated, El Paso, Texas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Johnson & Johnson Medical, Incorporated adversely affected 
by the shift of production to Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is 
amending the certification to reflect this matter.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--01223 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Johnson & Johnson Medical, Incorporated, El Paso, 
Texas and temporary workers of Kelly Services, El Paso, Texas, 
engaged in employment related to the production of surgical gowns, 
drapes and sheets for Johnson & Johnson Medical, Incorporated, El 
Paso, Texas who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after August 29, 1995 are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 30th day of October, 1997.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
