Lone Star Steel Co. Including Workers of Martin Marietta, Lone
Star, TX; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on September 2, 1998, applicable
to all workers of Lone Star Steel Company, located in Lone Star, Texas.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 28, 1998
(63 FR 51605).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged
in the production of steel slabs. New information shows that some
workers separated from employment at Lone Star Steel Company had their
wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account
for Martin Marietta. Workers from Martin Marietta repair and maintain
slab furnaces used in the production of steel slabs at the Lone Star,
Texas location of Lone Star Steel Company. Worker separations occurred
at Martin Marietta as a result of worker separations at Lone Star Steel
Company.
Based on these findings,the Department is amending the
certification to include workers of Martin Marietta, Lone Star, Texas
who were engaged in employment related to the production of steel slabs
at Lone Star Steel Company, Lone Star, Texas.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Lone Star Steel Company adversely affected by increased
imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,869 is hereby issued as
follows:
``All workers of Lone Star Steel Company, Lone Star, Texas
engaged in employment related to the production of steel slabs and
all workers of Martin Marietta, Lone Star, Texas engaged in
employment related to repairing and maintaining slab furnaces for
the production of steel slabs at Lone Star Steel Company, Lone Star,
Texas who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after August 6, 1997 through September 2, 2000 are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act
of 1974.''
Signed at Washington, DC this 22nd day of March, 1999.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
