Lone Star Steel Company Including Workers of Martin Marietta 
Logan and Whaley Company Lone Star, Texas; 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 of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on 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 51605).
    At the request of the Company, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows 
that worker separations occurred at Logan and Whaley Company, Lone 
Star, Texas. The workers provide maintenance and operating supplies as 
well as material management services to support the production of steel 
slabs at Lone Star Steel Company, Lone Star, Texas. Worker separations 
occurred at Logan and Whaley Company 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 Logan and Whaley Company, 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 adversely affected by increased 
imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-34,869 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of Lone Star Company, Lone Star, Texas engaged in 
employment related to the production of steel slabs and all workers 
of Martin Marietta and Logan and Whaley Company, Lone Star, Texas 
engaged in employment related to support and maintenance services 
for the production of steel slabs for 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 adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the 
Trade Act of 1974.''

    Signed at Washington, DC this 27th day of December, 1999.

Program Manager, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
