BILLING CODE 4410-15-M DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-61,270] CNH America LLC, Belleville Manufacturing Plant Including On-Site Leased Workers From Armstrong's, CNH Meridian, FBG Service Corporation, Industrial Distribution Group, Jim Buch's Repair Services, Jon Industrial Lube, Kelly Services, UTI Integrated Logistics, and Anixter Fasteners, Belleville, PA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on May 2, 2007, applicable to workers of CNH America LLC, Belleville Manufacturing Plant, including on-site leased workers from Armstrong's, CNH Meridian, FBG Service Corporation, Industrial Distribution Group, Jim Buch's Repair Services, Jon Industrial Lube, Kelly Services, and UTI Integrated Logistics, Belleville, Pennsylvania.
The notice will be published soon in the **Federal Register** . 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 agricultural machinery, specifically front-end loaders, hay and forage equipment (conditioners, rakes, forage harvesters, headers, and windrowers), bale wagons, and spreaders). New information shows that leased workers of Anixter Fasteners were employed on-site at the Belleville, Pennsylvania location of CNH America LLC, Belleville Manufacturing Plant.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include leased workers of Anixter Fasteners working on-site at CNH America LLC, Belleville Manufacturing Plant, Belleville, Pennsylvania. The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers employed at CNH America LLC, Belleville Manufacturing Plant, Belleville, Pennsylvania who were adversely affected by a shift in production to Mexico. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,270 is hereby issued as follows:
All workers of CNH America LLC, Belleville Manufacturing Plant, including on-site leased workers of Armstrong's, CNH Meridian, FBG Service Corporation, Industrial Distribution Group, Jim Buch's Repair Services, Jon Industrial Lube, Kelly Services, UTI Integrated Logistics, and Anixter Fasteners, Belleville, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 9, 2006, through May 2 2009, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of May 2007. Richard Church, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. E7-10018 Filed 5-23-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-FN-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-60,388] Hartz & Company, HL Hartz & Sons, New York, NY; Notice of Revised Determination on Reopening On May 14, 2007, the Department, on its own motion, reopened its investigation for the former workers of the subject firm.
The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination issued on December 1, 2006 because the workers provided a service that was not in support of the firm's production of apparel. Since the workers were denied eligibility to apply for trade adjustment assistance
(TAA)they were also denied eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA)for older workers. The Department has determined that the information provided by a former employee of the firm shows that the duties performed by workers of Hartz & Company in New York, New York, including design and marketing, supported the production of men's and women's suits and bottoms at a Hartz & Company facility located domestically. The production workers were certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance based on increased aggregate U.S. imports of men's and women's suits and bottoms. All workers of Hartz & Company, New York, New York, were separated when the production facility closed in October 2006. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have been met. A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions in the apparel industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful consideration of the new facts obtained on reopening, it is concluded that increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with men's and women's suits and bottoms produced by Hartz & Company, contributed importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production sales at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, I make the following revised determination: All workers of Hartz & Company, HL Hartz & Sons, New York, New York, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 6, 2005, through two years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. Signed in Washington, DC, this 16th day of May 2007. Linda G. Poole, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc.

The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination issued on April 13, 2007, was based on the finding that the petitioning workers did not produce an article within the meaning of Section 222 of the Act. The denial notice was published in the **Federal Register** on April 26, 2007 (72 FR 20873). To support the request for reconsideration, petitioners supplied additional information regarding production at the subject facility and a shift in production to Mexico. Upon further contact with the subject firm's company official, it was revealed that the workers also produced marker patterns in 2006 and January through April of 2007. During a detailed investigation on reconsideration, it was revealed that the subject firm shifted sewing functions and production of marker patterns to Mexico during the relevant period and that this shift contributed importantly to layoffs at the subject firm. In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA)for older workers. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have been met. A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of O'Bryan Brothers, Inc., Leon, Iowa, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 6, 2006 through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on May 9, 2007 (72 FR 26424). At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows that a worker separation occurred involving an employee of the Brookfield, Connecticut facility of Photronics, Incorporated located in Palm Bay, Florida. Information also shows that PLI Management Corp. was contracted by the subject firm to provide payroll function services to workers employed on-site at the Palm Bay, Florida location of the subject firm. Ms. Bonnie Mitchell provided sales function services for the production of photomasks produced by the subject firm.
