Trico Products Corporation; Vancebro, NC and Trico Products Division Headquarters Buffalo, NY; 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 Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on April 13, 1997, applicable to workers of Trico Products Corporation in Vanceboro, North Carolina. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 6, 1998 (63 FR 25082).

At the request of the Company, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided by the Company shows that worker separations have occurred at the Division Headquarters in Buffalo, New York. The Buffalo, New York location is the corporate headquarters and administrative offices, where workers provide administrative and support service functions related to the production of windshield wipers, including blades, refills, and parts for the North American production facilities of Trico Products Corporation, including Vanceboro, North Carolina. The Division Headquarters workers have been covered under a NAFTA petition (NAFTA 2210). Based on this new information, the Department is amending the certification to cover the subject firms' workers at the Division Headquarters in Buffalo, New York.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Trico Products Corporation affected by increased imports of windshield wipers, including blades, refills, and parts.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,281 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Trico Products Corporation, Vanceboro, North Carolina (TA-W-34,281) and Trico Products Division Headquarters in Buffalo New York (TA-W-34,281A) who were engaged in employment related to the production of wiper blades who become totally or partially separated from employment on or after February 11, 1997 through April 13, 2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington DC this 25th day of August 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
