Lone Star Steel Co. Including Workers of Martin Marietta, Lone 
Star, TX; 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 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 State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of steel slabs. New information shows that some 
workers separated from employment at Lone Star Steel Company had their 
wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account 
for Martin Marietta. Workers from Martin Marietta repair and maintain 
slab furnaces used in the production of steel slabs at the Lone Star, 
Texas location of Lone Star Steel Company. Worker separations occurred 
at Martin Marietta 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 Martin Marietta, 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 Steel Company, Lone Star, Texas 
engaged in employment related to the production of steel slabs and 
all workers of Martin Marietta, Lone Star, Texas engaged in 
employment related to repairing and maintaining slab furnaces for 
the production of steel slabs at 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 22nd day of March, 1999.

Grant D. Beale,
Acting Director, Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
