Cooper Wiring Devices, Georgetown, SC; 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 Cooper Wiring Devices, 
Assembly Department, Georgetown, South Carolina. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2001 (66 FR 47242).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings show that the 
Department limited its certification coverage to workers of the subject 
firm's Assembly Department.
    New company information shows that worker separations are scheduled 
and the remaining production of molding and wall plating performed on 
the molding machines and wall plate wrapping machines is shifting to 
Mexico. The entire plant will be closing by the end of 2002.
    It is the intent of the Department to include ``all workers'' of 
Cooper Wiring Devices adversely affected by a shift in production of 
molding machines and wall plant wrapping machines to Mexico.
    The Department is amending the certification determination to 
identify the worker group to read ``all workers.''
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-05043 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Cooper Wiring Devices, Georgetown, South Carolina 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on after 
June 26, 2000, through August 29, 2003, are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 8th day of March, 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
