DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
[NAFTA-00646 et al.]
Pacific Power a/k/a PacifiCorp, a/k/a Utah Power, Casper,
Wyoming, and Other Locations Within Wyoming and Other Locations Within
Various States; 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 U.S.C. 2273), the
Department of labor issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional
Adjustment Assistance on December 1, 1995, applicable to all workers of
Pacific Power, located in Casper, Wyoming, and operating at various
locations in the State of Wyoming. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on January 26, 1996 (61 FR 2538).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information provided
by the company shows that worker separations have occurred at other
production facilities of the subject firm at various locations within
the States of Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho and Utah.
The workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
electrical power. The company reports that PacifiCorp was formed to
combine Pacific Power and Utah Power. Consequently, some of the workers
may have had their Unemployment Insurance (UI) wages reported under
either PacifiCorp, Pacific Power or Utah Power tax accounts. Other
findings show that workers of Pacific Power in Centralia, Washington
are covered under an existing NAFTA-TAA certification, NAFTA-00655, and
are specifically excluded from this amendment.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by increased
imports from Canada or Mexico. Accordingly, the Department is amending
the certification to reflect that in addition to Pacific Power, the
workers UI wages may have been paid under PacifiCorp or
[[Page 24963]]
Utah Power; and to cover worker separations at the other locations of
the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-00646 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Pacific Power, a/k/a PacifiCorp, a/k/a Utah
Power, Casper, Wyoming and at other locations within Wyoming (NAFTA-
00646); and other locations within the following States, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after October
16, 1994 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of
the Trade Act of 1974:
NAFTA-00646A Washington (Excluding Centralia)
NAFTA-00646B Oregon
NAFTA-00646C California
NAFTA-00646D Montana
NAFTA-00646E Idaho
NAFTA-00646F Utah.
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 8th day of May 1996.
Russell T. Kile,
Acting Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of
Trade Adjustment Assistance.
