[TA-W-55,761]


Technicon Engineering Leased Workers at Brown & Williamson 
Tobacco Corporation, Currently Known as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco 
Corporation, an Operating Subsidiary of Reynolds American, Inc., Macon, 
GA; 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), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of 
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on October 28, 
2004, applicable to workers of Technicon Engineering employed at Brown 
& Williamson Tobacco Corporation, Macon, Georgia. The notice will be 
published soon in the Federal Register.
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The subject firm workers 
were leased workers providing research and development, and training 
support services at the Macon, Georgia facility of Brown & Williamson 
Tobacco Corporation which produces cigarettes.
    New information provided by the company shows that Brown & 
Williamson Tobacco Corporation is currently known as R.J. Reynolds 
Tobacco Company, an operating subsidiary of Reynolds American, Inc. as 
of July 30, 2004. Information also shows that workers separated from 
employment at the subject firm had their wages reported under a 
separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for R.J. Reynolds 
Tobacco Company.
    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 Technicon Engineering who were leased at Brown & Williamson 
Tobacco Corporation, Macon, Georgia, were adversely affected by 
increased imports.
