DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-56,169]


JDS Uniphase Corporation, FBN New Jersey Holdings Corporation, 
Ewing, NJ; 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 and Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance on February 10, 2005, applicable to workers of JDS Uniphase 
Corporation, Ewing, New Jersey. The notice was published in the Federal 
Register on March 9, 2005 (70 FR 11704).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged 
in the production of optical receivers, amplifiers and CATV products 
for the telecommunications and communications industry.
    New information shows that the New Jersey manufacturing operations 
of JDS Uniphase Corporation were sold to FBN New Jersey Holdings 
Corporation in May 2005. Workers separated from employment at the 
subject firm had their wages reported under a separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax accounts for FBN New Jersey Holdings Corporation.
    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 JDS Uniphase Corporation, Ewing, New Jersey who were 
adversely affected by increased imports.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-56,169 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ``All workers of JDS Uniphase Corporation, FBN New Jersey 
Holdings Corporation, Ewing, New Jersey who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after December 6, 2003, 
through February 10, 2007, 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.''

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of June, 2005.
Linda G. Poole,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
