[TA-W-59,329]


Optical Electro Forming a Division of Oracle Lens Manufacturing, 
Sola International and Carl Zeiss Vision Clearwater, FL; 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as 
amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility 
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade 
Adjustment Assistance on June 1, 2006, applicable to workers of Optical 
Electro Forming, a division of Oracle Lenses, Clearwater, Florida. The 
notice was published in the Federal Register on June 22, 2006 (71 FR 
35949).
    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 molds and inserts.
    New information shows that Optical Electro Forming is a division of 
Oracle Lens Manufacturing, a division of SOLA International, in turn a 
division of Carl Zeiss Vision. Workers separated from employment at the 
subject firm had their wages reported under four separate unemployment 
insurance (UI) tax accounts: Optical Electro Forming, Oracle Lens 
Manufacturing, SOLA International, and Carl Zeiss Vision.
    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 Optical Electro Forming and its parent companies, 
Clearwater, Florida, who were adversely affected by a shift in 
production to Mexico.
    The amended notice applicable to TA-W-59,329 is hereby issued as 
follows:

    ''All workers of Optical Electro Forming, a division of Oracle 
Lens Manufacturing, SOLA International and Carl Zeiss Vision, 
Clearwater, Florida, who became totally or partially separated from 
employment on or after May 2, 2005, through June 1, 2008, 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 19th day of December 2006.
Richard Church,
Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
