Thomas And Betts Corp. Communications Division Now Known As ACI 
Communications Kent, Washington; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter 2, Title II, of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional 
Adjustment Assistance on January 31, 2000, applicable to workers of 
Thomas and Betts Corp., Communications Division, Kent, Washington. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on February 15, 2000 (65 
FR 7675).
    At the request of a State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of cable TV communication products. The company 
reports that in the latter part of 1999, Thomas and Betts Corp. sold 
the Communications Division located in Kent Washington to ACI 
Communications.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification correctly 
identify the new title name to read ``Thomas and Betts Corp., 
Communications Div. now known as ACI Communications'', Kent, 
Washington.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Thomas and Betts Corp., Communications Div. who were 
adversely affected by a shift of production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-03404 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Thomas and Betts Corp., Communications Div., now 
known as ACI Communications, Kent, Washington who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after August 16, 1998 
through January 31, 2002 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974;

    Signed at Washington, DC this 23rd day of August, 2000.
