Tyco Electronics; The Thomas and Betts Corporation; Irvine, CA; 
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 
January 4, 2001, applicable to workers of Tyco Electronics, Irvine, 
California. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
February 8, 2001 (66 FR 9600).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The

workers produced electronic connectors and cable assemblies. 
Information received from the State shows that Tyco Electronics 
purchased The Thomas and Betts Corporation in July, 2000. Information 
also shows that some workers separated from employment at Tyco 
Electronics had their wages reported under a separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax account for The Thomas and Betts Corporation.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Tyco Electronics, Irvine, California who were adversely 
affected by the shift of production to Mexico. The amended notice 
applicable to NAFTA-04399 is hereby issued as follows:

    ``All workers of Tyco Electronics, The Thomas Betts Corporation, 
Irvine, California who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after December 11, 1999 through January 4, 2003 are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.''


    Signed at Washington, DC this 28th day of February, 2001.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
