[TA-W-50,069]


L.W. Packard & Co., Inc. Ashland, New Hampshire; 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 November 29, 2002, applicable 
to workers of L.W. Packard & Co., Inc., Ashland, New Hampshire. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2002 (67 
FR 78258).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings show that the 
Department issued certification coverage to all workers of the subject 
firm's Ashland, New Hampshire location.
    The investigation conducted for the subject firm was conducted on 
behalf of workers producing woolen fabrics for ladies' and men's coats. 
The investigation revealed that customer imports of woolen fabrics 
increased while sales, production and employment declined during the 
period of the investigation.
    Information provided by the State also shows that workers of the 
subject firm have ceased production of woolen fabrics. Workers 
currently employed at the facility perform other services and are 
separately identifiable from workers who produced woolen fabrics.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to cover all workers of L.W. Packard & Co., Inc., 
Ashland, New Hampshire, engaged in employment related to the production 
of woolen fabrics.
    It is the intent of the Department to include all workers engaged 
in employment related to the production of woolen fabric of L.W. 
Packard & Co., Inc. Ashland, New Hampshire adversely
