DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-50,186]


Don Shapiro Industries, Inc., Doing Business as Action West, 
Baxter International Corp., El Paso, TX; 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), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on December 12, 
2002, applicable to workers of Don Shapiro Industries, Inc., doing 
business as Action West, located in El Paso, Texas. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on January 9, 2003 (68 FR 1201).
    At the request of petitioners, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of Action West in El Paso, Texas. New 
information obtained from the company, shows that on November 7, 2003, 
Baxter International Corporation acquired the employees and certain 
assets of the subject firm at the El Paso, Texas location. Some workers 
have been subsequently separated from employment with Baxter 
International Corporation.
    It is the Department's intent to cover all workers of the firm 
impacted by increased imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending 
the certification to expand coverage to workers of the successor firm, 
Baxter International Corporation.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,186 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Don Shapiro Industries, Inc., doing business as 
Action West, currently known as Baxter Industries Corporation, El 
Paso, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after December 27, 2002, through December 12, 2004, 
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.


    Signed in Washington, DC, this 27th day of April, 2004.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
