Atofina Chemicals, Inc. Including Contract Workers of Washore
Mechanical and Blessing Electric, Portland, Oregon; Amended
Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance
In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on June 19, 2001, applicable to
workers of Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2001 (66 FR 35463).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information provided by
the State and the company shows that employees of Washore Mechanical
and Blessing Electric were employed by Atofina Chemicals, Inc. to
repair chlorine and chlorate cells, perform pipe maintenance and
installation duties and maintain and install high voltage electric
systems necessary to produce chloralkali chemicals at the Portland,
Oregon location of the subject firm.
Worker separations occurred at Washore Mechanical and Blessing
Electric as a result of worker separations at Atofina Chemicals, Inc.,
Portland, Oregon.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending the
certification to include workers of Washore Mechanical and Blessing
Electric employed at Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon who were adversely
affected by increased imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-39-029 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon and all
workers of Washore Mechanical and Blessing Electric, Portland,
Oregon engaged in activities related to the production of
chloralkali chemicals at Atofina Chemicals, Inc., Portland, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 4, 2000, through June 19, 2003, are eligible to apply
for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of
1974.
Signed at Washington, DC this 13th day of November, 2001.
Edward A. Tomchick,
Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
