DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[NAFTA--05080]


Great Western International, Portland, OR; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA--Transitional Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with section 250(A), subchapter D, chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
October 16, 2001, applicable to workers of Great Western International, 
Portland, Oregon. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
October 30, 2001 (66 FR 54784).
    At the request of a petitioner, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of industrial use chemicals such as caustic soda and 
sulfuric acid until the company shifted production to Canada in July 
2001.
    New information shows that a worker will be retained at the subject 
firm beyond the October 16, 2003 expiration date of the certification. 
This employee is currently performing the closing down functions until 
her termination no later than December 31, 2003.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to extend the October 16, 2003 expiration date for NAFTA-
05080 to read December 31, 2003.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Great Western International who were adversely affected by a 
shift of production of sulfuric acid and caustic soda to Canada.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--05080 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Great Western International, Portland, Oregon who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
July 3, 2000, through December 31, 2003, are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed at Washington, DC this 8th day of October, 2003.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
