Trade Adjustment Assistance Program; Designation of Certifying 
Officers

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of designation of certifying officers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The trade adjustment assistance program operates under the 
Trade Act of 1974 to furnish program benefits to domestic workers 
adversely affected in their employment by imports of articles which are 
like or are directly competitive with articles produced by the firm 
employing the workers. The North American Free Trade Agreement-
Transitional Adjustment Assistance amended the Trade Act of 1974 to 
provide assistance to workers impacted by a shift in production from 
the workers' firm to Mexico or Canada, or increased company or customer 
imports from Mexico or Canada of articles like or directly competitive 
with those produced by the workers' firm. Workers become eligible for 
program benefits only if the worker group is certified under the Act as 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance. From time to time the 
agency issues an Order designating officials of the agency authorized 
to act as certifying officers. Employment and Training Order No. 1-01, 
was issued to revise the listing of officials designated as certifying 
officers, superseding the previous Order. Employment and Training Order 
No. 1-01, is published below.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 10th day of May 2001.
Raymond J. Uhalde,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor, Employment and Training 
Administration.
