[TA-W-56,802]


Molex, Inc., New England Operations, Gilford, NH; 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 April 14, 2005, applicable to 
workers of Molex, Inc., New England Operations, Gilford, New Hampshire. 
The workers are engaged in the production of electrical connectors.
    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-56,802 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ''All workers of Molex, Inc., New England Operations, Gilford, 
New Hampshire, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after March 23, 2004 through April 14, 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 29th day of March 2006.
Elliott S. Kushner
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
