DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-57,732]


Microtek Medical, a Subsidiary of Microtek Medical Holdings, 
Inc., Columbus, MS; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To 
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance

    In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, (26 USA 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Negative Determination 
Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment 
Assistance on September 9, 2005, applicable to workers of Microtek 
Medical, a subsidiary of Microtek Medical Holdings, Inc., Columbus, 
Mississippi. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
October 6, 2005 (70 FR 58478).
    At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed the 
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged 
in the production of sterile drapes and covers for microscopes, cameras 
and patients and are not separately identifiable by product line.
    New findings show that there was a previous certification, TA-W-
42,178, issued on October 28, 2002, for workers of Microtek Medical, a 
subsidiary of Microtek Medical Holdings, Inc., Columbus, Mississippi 
who were engaged in employment related to the production of disposable 
medical drapes. That certification expired October 28, 2004. To avoid 
an overlap in worker group coverage, the certification is being amended 
to change the impact date from August 12, 2004 to October 29, 2004, for 
workers of the subject firm.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-57,732 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Microtek Medical, Inc., a subsidiary of Microtek 
Medical Holdings, Inc., Columbus, Mississippi, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after October 29, 2004, 
through September 9, 2007, are eligible to apply for adjustment 
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974. I further 
determine that all workers of Microtek Medical, Inc., a subsidiary 
of Microtek Medical Holdings, Inc., Columbus, Mississippi are denied 
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance 
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

    Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of October, 2005.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
