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 August 27, 2008, 

applicable to workers of Federal Mogul 

Corporation, Lighting Products Division, 

Boyertown, Pennsylvania. The notice

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 sealed beam forward lighting 

products. 

Findings show that there was a 

previous certification, TA–W–58,721, 

issued on March 6, 2006, for the 

workers of the Boyertown, Pennsylvania 

location of the subject firm. That 

certification expired March 6, 2008. To 

avoid an overlap in worker group 

coverage for the workers of the 

Boyertown, Pennsylvania location, the 

certification is being amended to change 

the impact date from July 24, 2007 to 

March 7, 2008. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending the certification to properly 

reflect this matter. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers of 

Federal Mogul Corporation who were 

adversely affected by increased imports 

of sealed beam forward lighting. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–63,766 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

‘‘All workers of Federal Mogul 

Corporation, Lighting Products Division,

Leased Workers From Work-A-While,

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 August 31, 2007, 

applicable to workers of Irwin Industrial 

Tools, including on-site leased workers 

from Work-A-While and Advance 

Services, Inc., Dewitt, Nebraska. The 

notice was published in the Federal 

Register on September 11, 2007 (72 FR

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 VISE–GRIP locking pliers and 

clamps. 

New information shows that leased 

workers of Oasis Staffing were 

employed on-site at the Dewitt, 

Nebraska location of Irwin Industrial 

Tools. 

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 Oasis Staffing working on-site at the 

Dewitt, Nebraska location of the subject 

firm. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers 

employed at Irwin Industrial who were 

adversely affected by a shift in 

production of VISE-GRIP locking pliers 

and clamps to China. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–62,022 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

‘‘All workers of Irwin Industrial Tools,

On July 15, 2008, the Department

In the request for reconsideration the

Services are Computer Operations 

Management and Staff, Server 

Engineering and Support, Network

and infrastructure, ‘‘built the physical 

equipment that allows Pitney Bowes to 

offer additional products and services’’ 

and ‘‘supported production of custom 

stamps by designing, implementation, 

storage and support of this product.’’ 

On reconsideration, the Department 

contacted a company official and 

requested additional information 

regarding the production of various 

products by Pitney Bowes and whether 

workers of the subject firm supported 

production of the above mentioned 

products. 

The company official stated that 

Pitney Bowes, Inc. bought servers from 

a third-party vendor and in no sense 

built these servers or develop 

applications or code. Furthermore, the 

company official stated that the workers 

of the subject firm neither built physical 

equipment nor designed or created the
