Olympus America Inc.; Rio Rancho, NM; 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 June 
11, 1996, applicable to all workers of Olympus America Inc. located in 
Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on July 3, 1996 (61 FR 34875).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
worker certification. New findings show that all workers of the Rio 
Rancho production facility of Olympus America were separated from 
employment when the plant closed on September 30, 1996. Workers 
supporting the production of medical light sources at the subject firm 
were inadvertently excluded from the certification.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased 
imports. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
cover all workers of Olympus America, Inc., Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-32,159 is hereby issued as 
follows:


[[Page 3530]]


    ``All workers of Olympus America, Inc., Rio Rancho, New Mexico, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after March 22, 1995, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC this 8th day of January 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
