Harris Welco (Excluding the Plastics Department) Division of J.W. 
Harris Co., Inc., Kings Mountain, North Carolina; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(A), Subchaper D, Chaper 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 
September 23, 2002 applicable to workers of Harris Welco, Division of 
J.W. Harris Co., Inc., Flux Department, Kings Mountain, North Carolina. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 10, 2002 
(67 FR 63160).
    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 Flux Department.
    New information provided by the company show additional worker 
separations are scheduled and the remaining production of flux coated 
welding rods and support functions are being shifted to Mexico. The 
entire plant will close by the end of 2002.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
determination to properly reflect this matter.
    It is the intent of the Department's certification to include all 
workers of Harris Welco who were adversely affected by a shift in 
production of flux coated welding rods to Mexico. Workers of the 
Plastics Department that was previously certified for NAFTA-TAA on June 
24, 2002, remains in effect (NAFTA-6102).
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--06414 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Harris Welco, Division of J.W. Harris Co., 
Inc., excluding workers of the Plastics Department, Kings Mountain, 
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on after July 26, 2001, through September 23, 2004, are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act 
of 1974.''
