DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
[TA-W-34,695]
Energizer Power Systems; Eveready Battery Company Now Known as
Moltech Power Systems, Gainesville, FL; 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 U.S. Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on August 28,
1998 applicable to all workers of Energizer Power Systems located in
Gainesville, Florida. The notice was published in the Federal Register
on September 28, 1998 (63 FR 51605). The determination was amended on
September 29, 1998 to include workers whose wages were reported under
its parent firm, Eveready Battery Company. The amended notice was
published in the Federal Register on October 9, 1998 (63 FR 54497).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged
in the production

of rechargeable batteries. Company information shows that in November
1999, the Energizer Power Systems, Division of Eveready Battery
Company, was purchased by Moltech Corporation. The Gainesville, Florida
location of Energizer Power Systems became known as Moltech Power
Systems and will continue to lay off workers.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
determination to correctly identify the new ownership to read
``Energizer Power Systems, Division of Eveready Battery Company, now
known as Moltech Power Systems,'' Gainesville, Florida.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Energizer Power Systems who were adversely affected by
increased imports of rechargeable batteries.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,695 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Energizer Power Systems, now known as Moltech
Power Systems, Gainesville, Florida who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 12, 1997 through August
28, 2000 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington DC this 30th day of November, 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
