B.E.L.-Tronics Limited a/k/a BEL Tronics LLC, Covington, GA; Amendment Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA- Transitional Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance on July 25, 1997, applicable to workers of B.E.L.-Tronics Limited located in Covington, Georgia. The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 4, 1997 (62 FR 46775).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm engaged in employment related to the production of swingmates (circuit board assemblies). New information provided by the State shows that on January 1, 1998, the subject firm began operating under the name BEL-Tronics LLC. Consequently, some of the workers separated from employment at the Covington facility have had their wages reported under the unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for BEL-Tronics LLC.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of the B.E.L.-Tronics Limited, Covington, Georgia plant adversely affected by increased imports from Canada or Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to reflect that B.E.L.-Tronics Limited is also known as BEL-Tronics LLC.

The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01702 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of B.E.L.-Tronics Limited, also known as BEL-Tronics LLC, Covington, Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after June 10, 1996 through July 25, 1999, are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 10th day of June 1998. Grant D. Beale, Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
