Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the U.S. Department Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on
September 28, 2001, applicable to workers of PlasticSource, Inc.
located in El Paso, Texas. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on October 19, 2001 (66 FR 53251).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the State shows that temporary workers of Kelly
Services, Inc. were employed at PlasticSource, Inc. to produce
automotive headlamp parts and vacuum cleaner parts at the El
Paso, Texas location of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to include temporary workers of Kelly Services,
Inc. employed at PlasticSource, Inc., El Paso, Texas
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of PlasticSource, Inc. who were adversely affected by
increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39,783 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of PlasticSource, El Paso, Texas, and workers
of Kelly Staff Leasing and Kelly Services, Inc. producing
headlamp parts and vacuum cleaner parts at Plastic Source,
El Paso, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 26, 2000, through September
28, 2003, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington D.C. this 9th day of July, 2002.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on August 13, 2001, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at PlasticSource and Kelly Staff Leasing, El
Paso, Texas. The workers produce automotive headlamp parts and
vacuum cleaner parts.
The subject firm experienced sales and employment declines
during the relevant period. This investigation revealed that the
major customers of the subject firm have maintained a substantial
reliance on imported headlamp parts while curtailing purchases from
the subject firm during the relevant period.
Currently there is a NAFTA petition investigation pending for
the workers at the subject company, NAFTA-5148.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with headlamp parts produced by
PlasticSource, El Paso, Texas contributed importantly to the
decline in sales or production and to the total or partial
separation of workers of that firm. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certifications:
"All workers of PlasticSource, El Paso, Texas, and workers of
Kelly Staff Leasing producing headlamp parts and vacuum
cleaner parts at PlasticSource, El Paso, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 26, 2000, through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
