[TA-W-50,069]
L.W. Packard & Co., Inc. Ashland, New Hampshire; 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 November 29, 2002, applicable
to workers of L.W. Packard & Co., Inc., Ashland, New Hampshire. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on December 23, 2002 (67
FR 78258).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. Findings show that the
Department issued certification coverage to all workers of the subject
firm's Ashland, New Hampshire location.
The investigation conducted for the subject firm was conducted on
behalf of workers producing woolen fabrics for ladies' and men's coats.
The investigation revealed that customer imports of woolen fabrics
increased while sales, production and employment declined during the
period of the investigation.
Information provided by the State also shows that workers of the
subject firm have ceased production of woolen fabrics. Workers
currently employed at the facility perform other services and are
separately identifiable from workers who produced woolen fabrics.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to cover all workers of L.W. Packard & Co., Inc.,
Ashland, New Hampshire, engaged in employment related to the production
of woolen fabrics.
It is the intent of the Department to include all workers engaged
in employment related to the production of woolen fabric of L.W.
Packard & Co., Inc. Ashland, New Hampshire adversely

original certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
