Ryobi Motor Product Corp., Anderson, SC; Amended Certification 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on December 4, 1996, applicable 
to all workers of the Ryobi Motor Product Corporation Anderson, South 
Carolina engaged in the production of BT 3000 table saws. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on December 4, 1996 (61 FR 
67858).
    At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New findings show that 
worker separations occurred due to the relocation of the production of 
power tool dust collection bags from the Anderson, South Carolina plant 
to a plant located in China during the later part of 1996. These 
workers were engaged in employment related to the production of dust 
collection bags used as a component part of various power tools from 
its own facility in Pickens, South Carolina.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to cover 
workers engaged in the production of power tool dust collection bags at 
the subject firms' Anderson, South Carolina plant.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Ryobi Motor Products Corporation, Anderson, South Carolina 
adversely affected by increased imports of BT 3000 table saws and power 
tool dust collection bags.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-32,845 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Ryobi Motor Products Corporation, Anderson, South 
Carolina engaged in employment related to the production of BT 3000 
table saws and power tool dust collection bags (TA-W-32,845) who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
October 14, 1995 are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance 
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington DC, this 2nd day of May, 1997.
Russell T. Kile,
Program Manager, Policy and Reemployment Services, Office of Trade 
Adjustment.
