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 March 27, 1997, applicable to all
workers at Stride Rite Corporation located in Hamilton and Tipton,
Missouri. The notice was published in the Federal Register on April 15,

At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged
in the production of children's shoes. New information received by the

Massachusetts location of Stride Rite Corporation. The Lexington,
Massachusetts facility is the corporate headquarters office and

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all

increased imports of children's shoes from Mexico. Accordingly, the
Department is amending the certification to cover the workers of Stride
Rite Corporation, Lexington, Massachusetts.

separated from employment on or after February 24, 1996, are
eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act
of 1974.''
