Nortel Networks Corp., Manufacturing Operations, Billerica,
Massachusetts; 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, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the
Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on November 5, 2002,
applicable to workers of Nortel Networks Corporation, Billerica,
Massachusetts. The notice was published in the Federal Register on
November 22, 2002 (67 FR 70462).
At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce
computer network systems components. The certification was issued for
all workers of Nortel Networks Corporation, Billerica, Massachusetts.
New information provided by the company shows that the petition was
filed on behalf of workers in the Manufacturing Operations group.
Workers in this group are separately identifiable from other worker
groups at the Billerica location of the firm.
It is the Department's intent to provide coverage to those workers
adversely affected by the shift in production from the workers' firm to
Canada. Accordingly, the certification is being amended to limit the
certification to workers of Nortel Networks, Billerica, Massachusetts,
Manufacturing Operations.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-6334 is hereby issued as
follows:
Workers of Nortel Networks Corporation, Manufacturing
Operations, Billerica, Massachusetts, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 1, 2001,
through November 5, 2004, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under
section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed in Washington, DC this 26th day of November 2002.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
