51528 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 3, 2008 / Notices 

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

New information shows that on July 

11, 2008, Monomoy Capital Partners 

purchased the assets of Kurdziel Iron of 

Rothbury, Inc. and is currently known 

as Carlton Creek Ironworks, LLC, 

Rothbury, Michigan. Workers wages at 

the subject firm are being reported 

under the Unemployment Insurance 

(UI) tax account for Carlton Creek 

Ironworks, LLC. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending this certification to include 

workers of the subject firm whose UI 

wages are reported under the successor 

firm, Carlton Creek Ironworks, LLC, 

Rothbury, Michigan. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA-W–62,191 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of Kurdziel Iron of Rothbury, 

Inc., currently known as Carlton Creek 

Ironworks, LLC, including on-site leased 

workers from Employment Giant, formerly 

known as Select Employment, Rothbury, 

Michigan, who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after 

September 20, 2006, through November 1,

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 July 3, 2008, applicable to 

workers of NxStage Medical, Inc., 

including on-site leased workers from 

Microtech Staffing and Accountemps, 

Lawrence, Massachusetts. The notice 

was published in the Federal Register 

on July 21, 2008 (73 FR 42370). 

At the request of the State agency, the 

Department reviewed the certification 

for workers of the subject firm. The 

workers were engaged in the production 

of dialysis equipment and disposables. 

New information shows that leased 

workers of JL Longo Staffing LLC were 

employed on-site at the Lawrence, 

Massachusetts location of NxStage 

Medical, Inc. The Department has 

determined that these workers were 

sufficiently under the control of the 

subject firm to be considered leased 

workers. 

Based on these findings, the 

Department is amending this 

certification to include leased workers 

of JL Longo Staffing LLC working on-site 

at the Lawrence, Massachusetts location 

of the subject firm. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers 

employed at NxStage Medical, Inc. who 

were adversely affected by a shift in 

production of dialysis equipment and 

disposables to Mexico. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–63,584 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of NxStage Medical, Inc., 

including on-site leased workers from 

Microtech Staffing, Accountemps and JL 

Longo Staffing LLC, Lawrence, 

Massachusetts, who became totally or 

partially separated from employment on or 

after June 23, 2007, through July 3, 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.
