Permit 58212Z, Naknek, Alaska; Termination of 
Investigation

    Pursuant to Title V of the North American Free Trade Agreement 
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182) concerning transitional adjustment 
assistance, hereinafter called NAFTA-TAA and in accordance with Section 
250(a), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
amended (19 U.S.C. 2273), an investigation was initiated on September 
5, 2002, in response to a petition filed by the Bristol Bay Native 
Association on behalf of Bristol Bay salmon fishermen, Permit 
58212Z, Naknek, Alaska.
    The workers stopped fishing in September 1999, more than one year 
from the September 5, 2002, petition date. Section 223(b)(1) of the 
Trade Act of 1974, as amended, provides that a certification may not 
apply to a worker whose separation from employment occurred more than 
one year prior to the date the petition was filed.
    Consequently, further investigation in this case would service no 
purpose, and the investigation has been terminated.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of October 2002.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
