Lone Star Steel Co. Including Workers of Martin Marietta, Lone
Star, Texas; 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 (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance of
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 51606).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The
[[Page 16484]]
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 who were adversely affected by the
shift of production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA--02563 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 NAFTA-TAA under section 250 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, Office of Trade
Adjustment Assistance.
