[NAFTA-03615]


Tandycrafts, Inc., Tandyarts, Inc./Impulse Designs Pinnacle Art 
and Frame Division Van Nuys, California; 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 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
March 11, 1999, applicable to workers of Tandycrafts, Inc., Pinnacle 
Art and Frame Division, Van Nuys, California. The notice was published 
in the Federal Register on January 14, 2000 (65 FR 2433).
    At the request of the company and State agency, the Department 
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers 
are engaged in the production of framed art, mirrors and photo frames. 
New information shows that in November, 1993, Tandycrafts, Inc. 
purchased Impulse Designs and formed a new company called Tandyarts, 
Inc./Impulse Designs. The company also reports that workers separated 
from employment at Tandycrafts, Inc., Pinnacle Art and Frame Division 
had their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) 
tax account for Tandycrafts, Incorporated, Tandyarts, Inc./Impulse 
Designs, Pinnacle Art and Frame Division, Van Nuys, California.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Tandycraft, Inc., Pinnacle Art and Frame Division who were 
adversely affected by imports from Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-03615 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Trandycraft, Inc., Tandyarts, Inc./Impulse 
Designs, Pinnacle Art and Frame Division, Van Nuys, California who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
August 23, 1998 through December 22, 2001 are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 3rd day of April, 2000.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
