DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA-05079]


Neles Automation USA, Inc., Metso Automation USA, Inc., Houston 
Delivery Center, Houston, TX; 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 
August 29, 2001, applicable to workers of Neles Automation USA, Inc., 
Houston Delivery Center, Houston, Texas. The notice was published in 
the Federal Register on September 11, 2001 (66 FR 47242).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of industrial valves and controls (ball valves and 
butterfly valves). New information shows that Metso Automation USA, 
Inc. is the parent firm of Neles Automation USA, Inc., Houston Delivery 
Center, Houston, Texas.
    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 Metso Automation USA, Inc.
    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 Neles Automation USA, Inc., Houston Delivery Center, 
Houston, Texas who were adversely affected by a shift of production of 
industrial valves and controls (ball valves and buttlerfly valves) to 
Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--05079 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Neles Automation USA, Inc., Metso Automation USA, 
Inc., Houston Delivery Center Houston, Texas who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after July 13, 2000, 
through August 29, 2003, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under 
Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 28th day of September, 2001.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of trade Adjustment Assistance.
