[TA-W-41,327]


MeadWestvaco, Including Leased Workers of Bancroft Contracting, 
Denali Fire Protection, WF Porter, Mechanical Services, Cinbro 
Contracting, ES Boulos, CP Technologies and Arbon Equipment, Rumford, 
MA; 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 June 21, 2002, applicable to 
all workers of MeadWestvaco, located in Rumford, Maine. The notice will 
soon be published in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The State reports that 
it was the company's intent to include leased workers producing coated 
groundwood paper and freesheet paper and market pulp at the Rumford 
mill. New information provided to the Department by the State and a 
company official show that MeadWestvaco leased employees to produce 
articles at the Rumford, Maine mill. Worker separations were 
experienced at Bancroft Contracting, Denali Fire Protection, WF Porter, 
Mechanical Services, Cinbro Contracting, ES Boulos, CP Technologies, 
and Arbon Equipment as a result of worker separations at MeadWestvaco.

    Based on this new information, the Department is amending the 
certification to include leased workers producing coated paper and pulp 
at the Rumford mill. The intent of the Department's certification is to 
include all workers of MeadWestvaco adversely affected by imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,327 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of MeadWestvaco, Rumford, Maine, and leased workers 
of Bancroft Contracting, Denali Fire Protection, WF Porter, 
Mechanical Services, Cinbro Contracting, ES Boulos, CP Technologies, 
and Arbon Equipment engaged in employment related to the production 
of coated groundwood and freesheet paper and market pulp at 
MeadWestvaco, Rumford, Maine, who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after March 22, 2001, through June 
21, 2004, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of July, 2002.
