DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-41,598 and TA-W-41,598A]


Sonoco Products Company, Santa Maria Plant, Santa Maria, CA, and 
Mt. Olive, NC; 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 October 4, 2002, applicable 
to workers of Sonoco Products Company, Santa Maria Plant, Santa Maria, 
California. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
November 5, 2002 (67 FR 67418).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce 
plastic T-shirts bags. The company official reports that production has 
declined and worker separations have occurred at the company's plant in 
Mt. Olive, North Carolina.
    It is the Department's intent to include all workers of the firm 
affected by increased imports. Therefore, the Department is amending 
the certification to include workers at Sonoco Products Company in Mt. 
Olive, North Carolina.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,598 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Sonoco Products Company, Santa Maria Plant, 
Santa Maria, California (TA-W-41,598) and Mt. Olive, North Carolina 
(TA-W-41,598A), engaged in employment related to the production of 
plastic T-shirt bags, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after May 15, 2001, through October 4, 2004, are 
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of December 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
