DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-37,279]


Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., Currently Known as AGFA, 
Including Workers of EDS, Brevard, 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 March 22, 2002, applicable to 
workers of Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., Brevard, North Carolina. 
The notice was published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2000 (65 
FR 21472).
    At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce 
medical X-ray film and the polyester based chemicals used in its 
manufacture. Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc. was purchased by Agfa 
Corporation in May 1999. New information shows that some employees of 
EDS, Charlotte, North Carolina, working at Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, 
Inc., Brevard, North Carolina were separated from employment.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to provide coverage 
to all workers at the firm adversely affected by increased imports of 
x-ray film and chemicals. Therefore, the Department is amending the 
certification to include employees of EDS engaged in employment related 
to the production of x-ray film and chemicals at Sterling Diagnostic 
Imaging, Inc., currently known as Agfa Corporation, Brevard, North 
Carolina.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-37,279 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., currently 
known as Agfa Corporation, Brevard, North Carolina, and workers of 
EDS engaged in employment related to the production of x-ray film 
and chemicals at Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc., currently known 
as Agfa Corporation, Brevard, North Carolina, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after January 6, 1999 
through March 22, 2002, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 13th day of February, 2003.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
