In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of Certification Regarding Eligibility to apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on July 7, 2000, applicable to workers of Hagale Industries, Inc., Salem, Missouri. The notice was published in the Federal Register on August 1, 2000 (65 FR 46954).

At the request of the petitioners, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.

Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to include workers of Hagale Industries, Inc., Ozark, Missouri.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of Hagale Industries, Inc. who were adversely affected by increased imports.
