Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc. Corporate Office, a 
Subsidiary of Furniture Brands International, Inc., Including On-Site 
Leased Workers From Onin Staffing, Formerly Mulberry Group, Foothills 
Temp Employment and Accountemps, Lenoir, NC; 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 December 2, 2008, applicable to workers of 
Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., Corporate Office, a subsidiary of 
Furniture Brands International, Inc., Lenoir, North Carolina. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2008 (73 
FR 77067).
    At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in support activities related to the production of residential 
upholstered furniture.
    New information shows that workers leased from Onin Staffing, 
formerly Mulberry Group, Foothills Temp Employment and Accountemps were 
employed on-site at the Lenoir, North Carolina location of Broyhill 
Furniture Industries, Inc., Corporate Office, a subsidiary of Furniture 
Brands International, Inc. The Department has determined that these 
workers were sufficiently under the control of Broyhill Furniture 
Industries, Inc., Corporate Office, a subsidiary of Furniture Brands 
International, Inc. to be considered leased workers.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include workers leased from Onin Staffing formerly 
Mulberry Group, Foothills Temp Employment and Accountemps working on-
site at the Lenoir, North Carolina location of the subject firm.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., Corporate 
Office, a subsidiary of Furniture Brands International, Inc. who were 
adversely affected by increased imports of residential upholstered 
furniture.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,478 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., Corporate 
Office, a subsidiary of Furniture Brands International, Inc., 
including on-site leased workers from Onin Staffing, formerly 
Mulberry Group, Foothills Temp Employment and Accountemps, Lenoir, 
North Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after November 18, 2007 through December 2, 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 18th day of February 2009.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
