DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA-01049]
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Air Springs Manufacturing
Division, Green, Ohio; Amended 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 USC 2273), the Department
of Labor issued a Notice of Revised Determination Regarding Eligibility
to Apply for NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance on August 15,
1996, applicable to all workers of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
producing air sleeves in Green, Ohio. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on September 6, 1996 (61 FR 47190).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. Review of the worker
certification revealed that the workers produced air sleeves. For
clarification, air sleeve is also know as shock sleeve. New information
provided by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company shows that the company
will move its air spring production from Green, Ohio, to its facility
in Mexico. The transition will begin in 1997, and worker separations
will begin in the first quarter of 1997. Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to include all workers of the Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company, Green, Ohio engaged in employment related to the
production of air springs. This amendment is also intended to clarify
that the product air sleeve is also know as shock sleeve.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of the subject firm adversely affected by the shift in
production to Mexico.
