Frenesius Medical Care Renal Product Technologies A/K/A Erika of 
Texas, McAllen, TX; 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 USC 2273), the Department 
of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA-
Transitional Adjustment Assistance on February 22, 1999, applicable to 
workers of Frenesius Medical Care, Renal Product Technologies located 
in McAllen, Texas. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
April 27, 1999 (64 FR 22649).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in employment related to the production of components for kidney 
dialysis devices. New information provided to the Department shows that 
all of the workers at the subject firm have had their wages reported to 
the unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Erika of Texas. 
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to reflect 
this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of the subject firm adversely affected by the shift in 
production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-02730 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of the Frenesius Medical Care, Renal Product 
Technologies, also known as Erika of Texas, McAllen, Texas who 
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after 
November 6, 1997 through July 27, 2000, are eligible to apply for 
NAFTA-TAA under section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.
