DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-55,921]


AG World Support Systems, LLC, a Subsidiary of Ag World Group, 
On-Site Workers at J.R. Simplot Company, Hermiston, OR; 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), the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on December 14, 2004, applicable 
to workers of Ag World Support Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of Ag World 
Group, on-site at J. R. Simplot Company, Hermiston, Oregon. This 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 workers are on-site 
inspectors in support of the production of potato products.
    Information shows that the Oregon Employment Department requested 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) on behalf of the workers 
of the subject firm, but that request was not addressed in the decision 
document.
    Information obtained from the company states that a significant 
number of workers of the subject firm are age 50 or over, workers have 
skills that are not easily transferable, and conditions in the industry 
are adverse. Review of this information shows that all eligibility 
criteria under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), 
as amended, have been met.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
reflect its finding.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-55,921 is hereby issued as 
follows:

Workers employed by Ag World Support Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of 
Ag World Group, Hermiston, Oregon, working at J.R. Simplot Company, 
Hermiston, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after November 2, 2003, through December 14, 2006, 
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.
