DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-37,955]

 
J.A. Thurston Co., Inc., Now Known as Saunders Brothers Rumford, 
Rumford, ME; 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 August 28, 2000, applicable 
to workers of J.A. Thurston Co., Inc., Rumford, Maine. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on September 22, 2000 (65 FR 57386).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of dowels. The company reports that in April, 2001, 
Saunders Brothers purchased J.A. Thurston Co., Inc., and became known 
as Saunders Brothers Rumford.
    Information also shows that workers separated from employment at 
the subject firm, had their wages reported under a separate 
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for Saunders Brothers Rumford.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification 
determination to properly reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of J.A. Thurston Co., Inc., now known as Saunders Brothers 
Rumford who were adversely affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-37,955 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of J.A. Thurston Co., Inc., now known as Saunders 
Brothers Rumford, Rumford, Maine who became totally or partially 
separated from employment on or after August 4, 1999, through August 
28, 2002, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under 
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 13th day of August, 2001.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
