Wright-Bernet, Inc. Division of Ekco, Group Inc., Hamilton, OH; 
Notice of Termination of Certification

    This notice terminates the Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance issued by the Department on 
December 16, 1996, for all workers of Wright-Bernet, Inc., Division of 
Ekco Group Inc. located in Hamilton, Ohio. The notice of certification 
was published in the Federal Register on December 31, 1996 (61 FR 
69110).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of Wright-Bernet, Inc. Workers of the subject 
firm produced brooms, brushes, and mops. When the worker certification 
was issued it was determined that the requirements of (a)(1)(B) of 
section 250 were met. The company was shifting production of brushes, 
brooms, and mops from the workers' firm to Mexico.
    New information provided by the company reveals that the Ekco Group 
will not shift production to Mexico as originally planned. Ekco Group 
will consolidate their Easthampton, Massachusetts production into the 
Hamilton, Ohio location. The consolidation will result in increased 
employment.
    Since there are no adversely affected workers of the subject firm, 
the continuation of the certification would serve no purpose and the 
certification has been terminated.

    Signed at Washington, D.C., this 24th day of March 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment Assistance.
