Mead Corporation, Mead School and Office Products, Binder Department, Tablet Department, Paper Filler Department, Saint Joseph, Missouri; 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 Notice of Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 15, 1999, applicable to workers of Mead Corporation, Binder Department, Mead School and Office Products, Saint Joseph, Missouri. The notice was published in the Federal Register on October 14, 1999 (64 FR 55751).

At the request of the petitioner, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of binders, notebook cases and planners. New findings show that worker separations have occurred at the subject firm's Tablet and Paper Filler Departments at the Saint Joseph, Missouri plant.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Mead Corporation, Mead School and Office Products affected by increased imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the worker certification to include the workers of the Tablet and Paper Filler Departments.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-36,080 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Mead Corporation, Mead School and Office Products, Binder Department, Tablet Department and Paper Filler Department, Saint Joseph, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after March 25, 1998 through September 15, 2001, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 18th day of November 1999. Grant D. Beale, Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
