IEC Electronics Corporation, Edinburg, TX; (Including Temporary 
Workers), Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for 
NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 250(A), subchapter D, chapter 2, title 
II, of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), the Department of Labor 
issued a Certification for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance on 
April 17, 2001, applicable to workers of IEC Electronics Corporation, 
Edinburg, Texas. The notice published in the Federal Register on May 9, 
2001 (66 FR 23734).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. Information provided by 
the company shows that some employees at the subject firm plant were 
temporary workers from Manpower Temporary Services of Texas and Express 
Personnel Services, McAllen, Texas and Staff Force Personnel Services, 
Edinburg, Texas; the workers of these firms produce printed circuit 
boards at the Edinburg, Texas location of the subject firm.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending the 
certification to include temporary workers of Manpower Temporary 
Services of Texas and Express Personnel Services, McAllen, Texas and 
Staff Force Personnel Services, Edinburg, Texas who were engaged in the 
production of printed circuit boards at IEC Electronics Corporation, 
Edinburg, Texas.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers of IEC Electronics Corporation, Edinburg, Texas adversely 
affected by a shift of production of printed circuit boards to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to NAFTA-04603 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of IEC Electronics Corporation, Edinburg, Texas, and 
temporary workers at Manpower Temporary Services of Texas and 
Express Personnel Services, McAllen, Texas, and Staff Force 
Personnel Services, Edinburg, Texas who were engaged in the 
production of printed circuit boards at IEC Electronics Corporation, 
Edinburg, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after February 21, 2000, through April 17, 2003, 
are eligible to apply for NAFTA-TAA under section 250 of the Trade 
Act of 1974.
