[TA-W-41,976]


Black and Decker, North American Power Tools, Including Leased 
Workers of Employment Control, Inc., Easton, Maryland; 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 10, 2002, applicable 
to workers of Black and Decker, North American Power Tools, Easton, 
Maryland. The notice was published in the Federal Register on November 
5, 2002 (67 FR 67422).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information provided by 
the State shows that leased workers of Employment Control, Inc. were 
employed at Black and Decker, North American Power Tools to produce 
corded power tools as well as provide administrative support service 
for the production of corded power tools at the Easton, Maryland 
location of the subject firm.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include leased workers of Employment Control, Inc. 
employed at Black and Decker, North American Power Tools, Easton, 
Maryland.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Black and Decker, North American Power Tools who were 
adversely affected by increased imports and a shift in production to 
Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-41,976 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Black and Decker, North American Power Tools, 
Easton, Maryland, engaged in production of corded power tools, 
including leased workers of Employment Control, Inc. engaged in 
employment related to the production of corded power tools at Black 
and Decker, North American Power Tools, Easton, Maryland who became 
totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 1, 
2001, through October 10, 2004, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 8th day of January, 2003.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
