THOMSON 60 CASE, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF THOMSON INDUSTRIES, INC.
LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA

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 a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on March
17, 2003, applicable to workers of Thomson 60 Case, LLC, a
subsidiary of Thomson Industries, Inc., Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on April 2, 2003
(68 FR 16094).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
produce steel shafting.
New findings show that there was a previous certification,
TA-W-37,747, issued on June 12, 2000, for workers of Thomson 60
Case, LLC, Lancaster, Pennsylvania who were engaged in employment
related to the production of steel shafting. That certification
expired June 12, 2002. To avoid an overlap in worker group
coverage, the certification is being amended to change the impact
date from January 3, 2002 to June 13, 2002, for workers of the
subject firm.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-50,579 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Thomson 60 Case, LLC, a subsidiary of
Thomson Industries, Inc., Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 13, 2002, through March 17, 2005, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of April, 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, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on January 16, 2003 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Thomson 60 Case, LLC, a subsidiary of Thomson
Industries, Inc., Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The workers at the
subject firm produce steel shafting.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in production of steel shafting to a
country (Mexico) that is a party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are like
or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Thomson 60 Case, LLC, a subsidiary of Thomson
Industries, Inc., Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January 3,
2002, through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 17th day of March, 2003.
