[TA-W-40,941 and TA-W-40,941A]


Wheland Automotive Industries, Warrenton, Georgia and Wheland 
Automotive Industries, Chattanooga, Tennessee; 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 Regarding 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on May 3, 2002, 
applicable to workers of Wheland Automotive Industries, located in 
Warrenton, Georgia. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
May 17, 2002 (67 FR 35141).
    At the request of the company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produced 
castings for brake drums and disc brake rotors. The company official 
reported that employment at the company's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant 
has declined. The sales of castings for brake drums and disc brake 
rotors at Chattanooga, Tennessee, have also declined. Layoffs of 
workers at the company's headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee, 
providing administrative support services to Whelan Automotive 
Industries has also occurred. The output of castings for brake drums 
and disc brake rotors at the Chattanooga plant were for the same 
customer base as the Warrenton, Georgia plant.
    Based on the new information provided by the company, the 
Department is amending the certification to expand coverage to workers 
of Wheland Automotive Industries in Chattanooga, Tennessee, including 
the workers at headquarters, engaged in employment related to the 
production of castings for brake drums and disc brake rotors.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,941 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Wheland Automotive Industries, Warrenton, 
Georgia (TA-W-40,941), and workers of Wheland Automotive Industries, 
including headquarters staff, engaged in employment related to the 
production of castings for brake drums and disc brake rotors at 
Chattanooga, Tennessee (TA-W-40,941A), who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after January 14, 2001, 
through May 3, 2004, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC this 20th day of November, 2002.

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
