[NAFTA-04208 and NAFTA-04208A]


Progress Lighting, Cowpens, SC, and Progress Lighting, 
Philadelphia PA; 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, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the 
Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for 
NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on October 31, 2000, 
applicable to workers of Progress Lighting, Cowpens, South Carolina. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on November 16, 2000 
(65 FR 69343).
    At the request of the International Brotherhood of Electrical 
Workers, Local 2005, the Department reviewed the certification for 
workers of the subject firm. The company reports that worker 
separations occurred at the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania location of 
Progress Lighting. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania location is a 
distribution center for the lighting fixtures produced in Cowpens, 
South Carolina.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include workers of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 
location of Progress Lighting.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Progress Lighting Wesley Industries, Inc. affected by a 
shift in production of lighting fixtures to Mexico.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
include workers of Progress Lighting, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-04208 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Progress Lighting, Cowpens, South Carolina 
(NAFTA-04208) and Progress Lighting, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 
(NAFTA-04208A) who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after October 6, 1999, through October 31, 2002, 
are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade 
Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 25th day of July, 2002.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
