In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 22, 2004, applicable to workers of Chieftain Products, Inc., Owosso, Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal Register on August 10, 2004 (69 FR 48530). The certification was amended on September 21, 2004 to extend Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance coverage to workers of the subject firm.

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production (cutting and sewing) of automotive interior trim.
