the Department is amending the certification to expand coverage to 
include workers of Nortel Networks, Qtera/Operations providing support 
services in New Jersey.

follows:

    ``All workers at Nortel Networks, Qtera/Operations, Boca Raton, 
Florida, and support staff workers located in New Jersey, engaged in 
employment related to the production of optical networking systems, 
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or 
after December 6, 2000 through February 19, 2004, are eligible to 
apply for NAFTA-TAA under Section 250 of the Trade Act of 1974.''
