notice was published in the Federal 

Register on October 31, 2005 (70 FR

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 Albion, Illinois facility 

of Champion Laboratories, Inc. located 

in Bristol, Connecticut. Mr. Armedee 

Nadeau provided sales support services 

for the production of filters at the 

Albion, Illinois location of the subject 

firm. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include an employee of 

the Albion, Illinois facility of Champion 

Laboratories, Inc. located in Bristol, 

Connecticut. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers of 

Champion Laboratories, Inc., Albion, 

Illinois who was adversely affected by 

increased company imports. 

The amended notice applicable to TAW–57,881 is hereby issued as follows: 

All workers of Champion Laboratories,

for workers of the subject firm. The

Point, New York. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending the certification to properly 

reflect this matter.

Edward Fields, Inc. who were adversely 

affected by increased company imports. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–57,805 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of Edward Fields, Inc.,
