DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-36,730]


Ray-Ban Sun Optics, Luxottica, Formerly Known as Eyewear Division 
of Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, New York; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on November 2, 1999, applicable 
to workers of Ray-Ban Sun Optics, Rochester, New York. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on December 2, 1999 (64 FR 67594). 
The certification was amended on December 6, 1999 to show that the 
company was formerly known as Eyewear Division of Bausch & Lomb. The 
notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of sunglasses. As indicated in the December 6, 1999 
amended certification, the subject firm, originally named the Eyewear 
Division of Bausch & Lomb, was sold in June, 1999 to Luxottica and was 
renamed Ray-Ban Sun Optics. The State agency reports that some workers 
wages at the subject firm have been reported to the Unemployment 
Insurance (UI) tax account of Luxottica.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm affected by increased imports. Therefore, 
the certification is again amended to include the workers at the 
Rochester, New York plant whose wages were reported to the Luxottica 
tax account.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-36,730 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Ray-Ban Sun Optics, Luxottica, formerly known as 
Eyewear
