    Background: The TAA program operates under the Trade Act of 1974,

workers' training opportunities and opportunities for health insurance 
coverage. The new law also included additional funding for employment 
services and case management, extended income support, increased 
funding for training, and provided for earlier access to training. 
Workers become eligible for program benefits only if the worker group 
is certified under the Act as eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance. From time to time the agency issues an Order designating or 
redesignating officials of the agency authorized to act as Certifying 
Officers, responsible for reviewing and signing adjustment assistance 
determinations. This also is done when current Certifying Officials 
retire or leave and/or when there is a need to designate new Certifying
