Lane Funiture Industries, Inc., 

Including Workers whose UI Wages 

Were Paid by Action Transport, 

Belden, MS; 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 Regarding Eligibility to 

Apply for Worker Adjustment 

Assistance and Alternative Trade 

Adjustment Assistance on August 20, 

2008, applicable to workers of Lane 

Furniture Industries, Inc., Belden, 

Mississippi. The notice was published 

in the Federal Register on September 3, 

2008 (73 FR 51529). 

At the request of the company official, 

the Department reviewed the 

certification for workers of the subject 

firm. The workers were engaged in the 

production of upholstered furniture. 

New information provided to the 

Department shows that some workers of 

the subject firm were former workers 

from Action Transport that were hired 

permanently by the subject firm. These 

workers had their wages reported under 

the Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax 

account for Action Transport. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

amending this certification to properly 

reflect this matter. 

The intent of the Department’s 

certification is to include all workers of 

Lane Furniture Industries, Inc. who 

were adversely affected by increased 

imports of upholstered furniture. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–63,754 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

‘‘All workers of Lane Furniture Industries, 

Inc., including workers whose wages were 

paid by Action Transport, Belden, 

Mississippi, who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after July 

28, 2007, through August 20, 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 1st day of 

May 2009.

herein presents summaries of

apply for trade adjustment assistance for 

workers (TA–W) number and alternative 

trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) by 

(TA–W) number issued during the 

period of April 27 through May 1, 2009. 

In order for an affirmative 

determination to be made for workers of 

a primary firm and a certification issued 

regarding eligibility to apply for worker 

adjustment assistance, each of the group 

eligibility requirements of Section 

222(a) of the Act must be met. 

I. Section (a)(2)(A), all of the 

following must be satisfied:

of the workers in such workers’ firm, or 

an appropriate subdivision of the firm, 

have become totally or partially 

separated, or are threatened to become 

totally or partially separated; 

B. the sales or production, or both, of 

such firm or subdivision have decreased 

absolutely; and 

C. increased imports of articles like or 

directly competitive with articles 

produced by such firm or subdivision 

have contributed importantly to such 

workers’ separation or threat of 

separation and to the decline in sales or 

production of such firm or subdivision; 

or 

II. Section (a)(2)(B), both of the 

following must be satisfied: 

A. A significant number or proportion 

of the workers in such workers’ firm, or 

an appropriate subdivision of the firm, 

have become totally or partially 

separated, or are threatened to become 

totally or partially separated; 

B. there has been a shift in production 

by such workers’ firm or subdivision to 

a foreign country of articles like or 

directly competitive with articles which 

are produced by such firm or 

subdivision; and 

C. One of the following must be 

satisfied: 

1. The country to which the workers’ 

firm has shifted production of the 

articles is a party to a free trade 

agreement with the United States; 

2. the country to which the workers’ 

firm has shifted production of the 

articles to a beneficiary country under

increase in imports of articles that are 

like or directly competitive with articles 

which are or were produced by such

Also, in order for an affirmative

secondarily affected workers of a firm 

and a certification issued regarding 

eligibility to apply for worker 

adjustment assistance, each of the group 

eligibility requirements of Section 

222(b) of the Act must be met.

of the workers in the workers’ firm or 

an appropriate subdivision of the firm 

have become totally or partially 

separated, or are threatened to become 

totally or partially separated; 

(2) the workers’ firm (or subdivision) 

is a supplier or downstream producer to 

a firm (or subdivision) that employed a 

group of workers who received a 

certification of eligibility to apply for 

trade adjustment assistance benefits and 

such supply or production is related to 

the article that was the basis for such 

certification; and 

(3) either— 

(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and 

the component parts it supplied for the 

firm (or subdivision) described in 

paragraph (2) accounted for at least 20 

percent of the production or sales of the 

workers’ firm; or 

(B) a loss of business by the workers’ 

firm with the firm (or subdivision) 

described in paragraph (2) contributed 

importantly to the workers’ separation 

or threat of separation. 

In order for the Division of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance to issue a
