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 Department of Labor issued Amended Certification
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
on July 18, 2002, applicable to workers of The Boeing Company,
Commercial Airplane Group, Corinth, Texas. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on July 29, 2002 (67 FR 49039-
49040).
At the request of Labinal-Corinth, Inc., the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production of large commercial
aircraft and the components thereof.
New information shows that Labinal-Corinth, Inc. purchased
substantially all of the assets and business of Boeing – Corinth,
Inc. on June 6, 2003. Workers separated from employment at the
subject firm following the purchase had their wages reported
under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for
Labinal-Corinth, Inc.


Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense and Space
Group, Commercial Airplane Group, and Labinal-Corinth, Inc. who
were adversely affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-40,525E is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense and Space
Group, Commercial Airplane Group, and Labinal-Corinth, Inc.,
Corinth, Texas (TA-W-40,525E) who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 18,
2000, through March 18, 2004, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 15th day of October 2003.

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 December 31, 2001, and filed by the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Lodge 751, on
behalf of workers at the Boeing Company, Commercial Airplane Group,
headquartered in Seattle, Washington and operating in the Puget
Sound area of Washington and in Spokane, Washington; Portland,
Oregon; and Wichita, Kansas. The product at all locations is large
commercial aircraft and the components thereof.
The current investigation revealed that employment declines
have occurred at all locations. The threat of additional layoffs is
extant and the magnitude of those layoffs exceeds past employment
declines by a significant margin. Production declines for
commercial aircraft have begun to be manifested in the first months
of 2002. A Departmental survey of major potential customers has
revealed that purchases of imported commercial aircraft have
contributed importantly to declines at the commercial aircraft
division of The Boeing Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investiga-
tion, I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or
directly competitive with large commercial aircraft produced by The
Boeing Company at its domestic facilities 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 certification:


"All workers of The Boeing Company, Commercial Airplane
Group, in the Puget Sound area of Washington and in Spokane,
Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Wichita, Kansas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 25, 2002, following the date of the previous
determination, through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."

Signed in Washington, D. C. this 18th day of March, 2002.
