DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-37,279]


Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., Now Known as Agfa Corporation, 
Brevard, North Carolina; 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 March 22, 2000, applicable to 
workers of Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., Brevard, North Carolina. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2000 (65 
FR 21474).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of medical X-ray film and the polyester base 
chemicals used in its manufacture. The company reports that in May, 
1999, Agfa Corporation purchased Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc. and 
became known as Agfa Corporation.
    Information also shows that workers separated from employment at 
the subject firm, had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Agfa Corporation.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
determination to properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., now known as Agfa 
Corporation who were adversely affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-37,279 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., now known as 
Agfa Corporation, Brevard, North Carolina who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after January 6, 1999, 
through March 22, 2002, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 8th day of August, 2001.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
