Mechanical and Blessing Electric Portland, Oregon; Amended 
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker 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 Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA 
Transitional Adjustment Assistance on June 20, 2001, applicable to 
workers of Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2001 (66 FR 35463).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information provided by 
the State and the company shows that employees of Washore Mechanical 
and Blessing Electric were employed by Atofina Chemicals, Inc. to 
repair chlorine and chlorate cells, perform pipe maintenance and 
installation duties and maintain and install high voltage electric 
systems necessary to produce chloralkali chemicals at the Portland, 
Oregon location of the subject firm.
    Worker separations occurred at Washore Mechanical and Blessing 
Electric as a result of worker separations at Atofina Chemicals, Inc., 
Portland, Oregon.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include workers of Washore Mechanical and Blessing 
Electric employed at Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon adversely affected 
by increased company imports from Canada and Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--4721 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland Oregon and all 
workers of Washore
