DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA-03891]


Nortel Networks, Xors, Inc., Northern Telephone, Alteon Networks, 
Santa Clara, CA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply 
for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter 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 May 30, 2000, applicable to workers of Nortel 
Networks, Santa Clara, California. The notice was published in the 
Federal Register on June 8, 2000 (65 FR 36470).
    At the request of a State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of telecommunications equipment, primarily printed 
circuit assemblies and PBX telephone switches.
    New information provided by the State shows that some workers 
separated from employment at the Santa Clara, California location of 
Nortel Networks had their wages reported under three separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax accounts for Xros, Inc. and Northern 
Telephone, Santa Clara, California and Alteon Networks, Santa Clara, 
California and San Jose, California.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Nortel Networks who were adversely affected by a shift of 
production of telecommunication equipment to Canada.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--03891 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Nortel Networks, Santa Clara, California; and 
workers of Xros, Inc., Northern Telephone, Alteon Networks, 
producing telecommunications equipment, primarily printed circuit 
assemblies and PBX telephone switches at Nortel Networks, Santa 
Clara, California, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after April 27, 1999, through May 30, 2002, are 
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act 
of 1974;
