Agere Systems, Inc., Including Contract Workers of Novellus 
Systems, Inc., Allentown, PA; Amended Certification Regarding 
Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

    In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on October 7, 2003, applicable 
to workers of Agere Systems, Inc., Allentown, Pennsylvania. The notice 
was published in the Federal Register on November 6, 2003 (68 FR 
62833). The certification was amended on November 3, 2003, to correct 
the impact from August 15, 2002, to August 30, 2003. The notice was 
published in the Federal Register on November 26, 2003 (68 FR 66493).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. New information shows 
that contract workers of Novellus Systems, Inc. were employed at Agere 
Systems, Inc., at the Allentown, Pennsylvania location of the subject 
firm.
    Based on these findings, the Department is amending this 
certification to include contract workers of Novellus Systems, Inc. 
working at Agere Systems, Inc., Allentown, Pennsylvania.
    The intent of the Department's certification is to include all 
workers employed at Agere Systems, Inc. who were adversely affected by 
increased imports of integrated circuits.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-52,656 is hereby issued as 
follows:

All workers of Agere Systems, Inc., including contract workers of 
Novellus Systems, Inc., Allentown, Pennsylvania, who became totally 
or partially separated from employment on or after August 30, 2003, 
through November 3, 2005, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 10th day of February, 2004.
