Employment and Training Administration

[TA-W-57,397]


Wyeth; Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Health Care Division, Rouses Point, 
New York; 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 July 20, 2005, applicable to 
workers of Wyeth, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Health Care Division, Rouses 
Point, New York. The notice was published in the Federal Register on 
August 26, 2005 (70 FR 50412). The workers are engaged in the 
production of over the counter medicine.
    New information provided by the petitioners show their intention 
was to apply for all available Trade Act benefits at the time of the 
filing. Therefore, the Department has made a decision to investigate 
further to determine if the workers are eligible to apply for 
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance.
    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 for workers at the subject firm.
    Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to 
reflect its finding.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-57,987 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    All workers of Wyeth, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Division, Health 
Care Division, Rouses Point, New York, who became totally or 
partially separated from employment on or after June 3, 2004 through 
July 20, 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 8th day of February 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
