Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Winslow Plant, Winslow, ME; Including 
Leased Workers of Northeast Laboratories, Winslow, ME; Including 
Workers of Guards-Mark, Boston, MA and Valmet Audiomation, Westbrook, 
ME; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for NAFTA-
Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with Section 250(A), Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
August 27, 1997, applicable to all workers of the Winslow Plant of 
Kimberly-Clark Corporation, located in Winslow, Maine.

[[Page 15443]]

    The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 30, 
1997 (62 FR 32376).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers produce bath 
tissue. New information provided by the State shows that some workers 
separated from employment at Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Winslow Plant, 
Winslow, Maine had their wages reported under two separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax accounts, at Guards-Mark, Boston, Massachusetts and 
Valmet Audiomation, Westbrook, Maine. Workers from Guards-Mark provided 
security detail for the Winslow, Maine facility. Workers from Valmet 
Audiomation provided computer support services to the Winslow Maine 
facility of Kimberly-Clark Corporation. Worker separations occurred at 
Guards-Mark and Valmet Audiomation as a result of worker separations at 
Kimberly-Clark Corporation.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
reflect this matter.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of Kimberly-Clark Corporation adversely affected by imports 
from Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-01801 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of the Winslow Plant of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, 
located in Winslow, Maine, and leased workers of Northeast 
Laboratories, Winslow, Maine engaged in employment related to 
environmental testing for the production of bath tissue produced by 
the Winslow Plant of Kimberly-Clark Corporation located in Winslow, 
Maine and all workers of Guards-Mark, Boston, Massachusetts that 
provided security detail for the Winslow Plant of Kimberly-Clark 
Corporation, Winslow, Maine and all workers of Valmet Audiomation, 
Westbrook, Maine that provided computer support services for the 
production of bath tissue produced by the Winslow, Maine plant of 
Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Winslow, Maine who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after July 7, 1996 through 
August 27, 1999 are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 
250 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of March, 1998.
Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
