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 January 19, 1999, applicable to workers of The Trane Company, a division of American Standard, Incorporated, Tyler, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on January 29, 1999 (64 FR 4712).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows that some employees of The Trane Company, a division of American Standard, Incorporated, Tyler, Texas were leased from Remedy Intelligent Staffing, Incorporated, Tyler, Texas to produce single cylinder reciprocating compressors for air conditioning units at the Tyler, Texas facility.
