DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-55,082]


Chieftain Products, Inc., Owosso, MI; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and 
Alternative Trade 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 July 22, 2004, applicable to 
workers of Chieftain Products, Inc., Owosso, Michigan. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on August 10, 2004 (69 FR 48530).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of (cutting and sewing) automotive interior trim.
    Information shows that the Michigan Department of Labor requested 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) on behalf of the workers 
of the subject firm but that request was not addressed in the decision 
document.
    Information obtained from the company states that a significant 
number of workers of the subject firm are age 50 or over, workers have 
skills that are not easily transferable, and conditions in the industry 
are adverse. Review of this information shows that all eligibility 
criteria under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), 
as amended have been met. Accordingly, the Department is amending the 
certification to reflect its finding.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-55,082 is hereby issued as 
follows:

''All workers of Chieftain Products, Inc., Owosso, Michigan (TA-W-
55,082), who became totally or partially separated from employment 
on or after June 14, 2003, through July 22, 2006, are eligible to 
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act 
of 1974 and are also eligible to apply for Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of September, 2004.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
