    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C.

[[Page 43158]]

The notice was published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2008 
(73 FR 79914). The certification was amended on February 10, 2009, 
March 3, 2009, March 31, 2009, June 12, 2009, and July 21, 2009 to 
include on-site leased workers of Tokyo Electron America, Nikon 
Precision, Ebara Technologies, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., PSI 
Repair Services, Exel Logistics, Xperts, Inc., KLA-Tencor, Craftcorps 
and Colonial Webb and Qimonda North America Corp., Qimonda Richmond, an 
on-site subsidiary of the subject firm. These notices were published in 
the Federal Register on February 23, 2009 (74 FR 8111), March 11, 2009 
(74 FR 10619), April 7, 2009 (74 FR 15752) and June 24, 2009 (74 FR 
30112). The July 21, 2009 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 DRAM semiconductor wafers.
    The company reports that workers leased from Novellus Systems, Inc. 
were employed on-site at the Sandston, Virginia location of Qimonda 
200MM Facility. The Department has determined that these workers were 
sufficiently under the control of Qimonda 200MM Facility to be 
considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from Novellus Systems, Inc. 
working on-site at the Sandston, Virginia location of the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification to include all workers 
employed at Qimonda 200MM Facility, Sandston, Virginia who were 
adversely affected by a shift in production to a foreign country 
followed by increased imports of articles like or directly competitive 
with DRAM semiconductor wafers produced by the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,401 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Qimonda 200MM Facility, including on-site leased 
workers from Tokyo Electron America, Nikon Precision, Inc., Ebara 
Technologies, Inc., Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., PSI Repair 
Services, Exel Logistics, Xperts, Inc., KLA-Tencor, Craftcorps, 
Inc., Colonial Webb, and Novellus Systems, Inc., and including on-
site workers of Qimonda North America Corp., Qimonda Richmond, a 
subsidiary of Qimonda AG, Sandston, Virginia, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after November 11, 2007 
through December 11, 2010, 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 7th day of August 2009.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
